Montfermier can be explored through a variety of interests: the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste offers a historical highlight, while regional produce provides a culinary perspective. The farms differ both in the products they offer and in the visitor experiences available. This lets you decide whether you are more interested in history, food processing and tastings, or seasonal fruit and vegetables.

A historical landmark

The Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Montfermier dates from the 16th century. It offers a specific historical point of interest for anyone looking for a place's cultural character as part of a trip.

Ferme de la Souleille: produce and visits

Foie gras, confits, cassoulet, magrets, rillettes, fritons and pâtés are made at Ferme de la Souleille. On-site processing is as much a part of the farm's character as its wide range of products. Since the selection can vary with the seasons, do not assume that any particular product is available year-round.

The farm can be visited by prior arrangement and at the usual times for animal care. Arrange your visit before setting out. Free tastings and an activity workshop are also offered; details of the visitor programme may change. If you would like not only to learn about the products but also to plan a farm visit, arranging an appointment and confirming the programme are the key planning steps.

Ferme du Causse Haut: seasonal fruit and vegetables

Ferme du Causse Haut specialises in melons and also sells peaches, cherries, apricots and seasonal vegetables. Seasonal produce can be bought directly from the farm, and freshly harvested products can also be tasted. This differs from the range at Ferme de la Souleille: here, the focus is on fruit and vegetables and their harvest, while the other farm focuses on meat products and their processing.

Sales and tasting arrangements may change. If you are planning a visit, check the details in advance. Seasonality also matters when choosing products: an interest in melons or other fruit does not mean that every product listed will be available on every visit.

Market in Laguépie and regional produce

The fruit and vegetables from Ferme du Causse Haut are available on Sunday mornings at the market in Laguépie, from June to the end of September. Seasonal market participation may change, so check the details before visiting. The market is a separate sales option alongside buying directly from the farm. If you want to plan your trip around this offering, both the day of the week and the stated time period are relevant.

Visitors to Montfermier can also find information about regional produce, including duck meat and foie gras, farmstead cheese, AOC wines from the Coteaux du Quercy and fruit. This overview is broader than the product ranges of the two farms and can help you consider a variety of regional products as part of your trip. Availability and visitor options may change.

Choose the right focus

For a historical highlight, the church offers a clear point of interest. Those who would like to combine a visit with a tasting can find free tastings and an activity workshop at Ferme de la Souleille, but must arrange their farm visit in advance. At Ferme du Causse Haut, the focus is on seasonal harvests, direct sales and freshly harvested produce; the market in Laguépie offers an additional option on a set day of the week and during a specific season. Compare these options based on what interests you, and arrange the relevant visits before your trip.
