 Cachée entre les collines d'un petit hameau, se trouve la Ferme de la Bourgade. C'est une ferme familiale, où petits et grands participent aux tâches quotidiennes.  Nous vous proposons deux activités : Le golffermier (du vendredi à dimanche) et les samedis (à 11h au matin) la promenade en char à banc  Le golffermier s'inspire bien évidemment du golf traditionnel si ce n'est que vous frappez la balle à l'aide d'un petit sabot en bois et que le terrain de golf est une prairie où il n'est pas rare de jouer parmi les vaches... C'est une agréable promenade au milieu des prairies vallonnées. Le parcours qui se situe dans un environnement calme et naturel, suit le ruisseau de Moressée. Tout le monde peut y jouer, c'est facile. La balade en char à banc est une façon originale pour découvrir la région en prenant place à bord de notre « char-à-bancs », construit par l'agriculteur même. Notre char-à-bancs, d'une capacité de 45 places, est tiré par un tracteur ! Nous vous proposons un circuit commenté de environ 15 km qui s'effectue en 2 heures à travers les prairies des bois Idéal pour une sortie en famille, avec des amis ou des collègues de travail.
