This spring, the members of the Bienvenue à la ferme Dordogne Périgord are opening their doors to you.

This will be an opportunity to exchange, discover their daily lives and share convivial moments for young and old.

Discover their products and the passion of their profession through various activities: Farm visits, tastings, workshops, various animations...

Ten farmers open their doors in the Dordogne for warm and enriching encounters on the weekends of 19, 20 and 21 May: 

• 19, 20 and 21 April
• 1, 2, 3 and 4 May
• 21 and 22 June

Behind each product is a dedicated farmer, a woman or a man who will be happy to share their knowledge and the background of their farm with you.

On May 1st, people eat an omelette with “aillet” (young garlic cloves), a lively tradition in the south of the department. The giant omelette in Bergerac, prepared with over a thousand eggs on the initiative of the Jeune Chambre économique, is spectacular. The event starts at 11:30 am at the Jardin Perdoux, where games and entertainment are on offer. The omelette will be served in many Bergeracois municipalities: from Eymet to Couze-et-Saint-Front, Saint-Capraise-de-Lalinde, Faux-en-Périgord and Saint-Pompon in Périgord Noir, to name but a few.
