Description
Looking for a unique outdoor activity in Martigues? Join an introductory morning session on agroforestry and a participatory pomegranate harvest in Saint-Julien-les-Martigues, followed by a tasting of local Provençal products.
The Côté Grenades farm, run by Evelyne Lopez, is opening its doors to the public for a three-hour countryside workshop.
Located in Saint-Julien-les-Martigues (Bouches-du-Rhône), this orchard—managed using agroforestry principles—showcases ecological farming practices that respect biodiversity.
During the guided tour, you will discover how combining trees and crops fosters a sustainable ecosystem.
Event program:
- Welcome and guided tour: An introduction to the fundamentals of agroforestry and a tour of the pomegranate orchard.
- Hands-on harvesting workshop: A practical, immersive experience in the orchard to pick fresh pomegranates.
- Local product tasting: A friendly gathering to sample pomegranate juice, artisanal jams, jellies (verbena, thyme), and homemade syrups, alongside breads and cheeses from regional producers (Bernard Thoron, Thierry Serein).
Please note that current weather conditions may lead to an early pomegranate harvest. Consequently, the workshop date is subject to change at any time.
