The Arc-en-Ciel Farm grows seasonal and forgotten vegetables with the permaculture method based on natural cycles and the absence of ploughing and chemical fertilisers. The aim is to create a diversified and stable food system integrating sustainable plants, fruit trees and animals close to the natural ecosystems whose diversity seems to be the best asset against diseases.
Possibility of visiting the vegetable gardens for about 2 hours, as well as workshops!

In the heart of the forest of the Domaine de Mirwart, many small treasures are hidden like the didactic apiary of the Marsoult, equipped to let you discover – in all safety – the fantastic world of bees, to the delight of young and old.
The aim of the apiary is to preserve the indigenous species: the black bee, also known as the “bee of the region”. In spring and summer, honey is harvested. The apiary is located near the Estate’s fish farm, which is renowned for the quality of its “fario” trout, which are used to supply the local rivers.

The Ferme du Long Pré is a small breeding farm. The flock of ewes is of the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse breed, a hardy Walloon breed recently saved from extinction. Other ewes, of the Roux Ardennais and Black Welsh breeds, complete the flock, which grazes in the summer on Natura 2000 areas located in the Grande Forêt de Saint-Hubert in order to maintain the wetlands and open areas in an ecological manner.
The lambs are reared with their mothers on grassland, fed exclusively on grass, a guarantee of quality. Pigs are raised in the open air. Two sows ensure the reproduction. They give birth with respect for animal welfare and look after their piglets in a completely natural way.
A large garden completes the offer.
The meat, which is processed directly on the farm, is sold in the farm’s own magazine, either as colus on order or in pieces throughout the year, depending on the stock.
The Ferme du Long Pré organises picnics with local products, nature walks and visits to the farm. Prices depend on demand and the number of participants.
