Abbaye Saint Pierre

Abbaye Saint Pierre is a diversified organic farm in Mas-Grenier, Occitanie, France, offering experimental sites and practical farming expertise to European agricultural, agrifood and biotechnology research consortia.

The farm manages approximately 12 hectares, including a conservation orchard of heritage varieties (26 fruit species and more than 100 varieties), vegetables, aromatic and medicinal plants, field crops, grassland and an apiary. An operational 65 m² food-processing workshop supports small-batch agrifood trials.

We offer access to agreed plots, farmer co-design, management records, repeated field observations and sampling under scientific protocols, practical assessment of innovations, demonstrations and knowledge exchange. Workshop-scale activities can include drying, preservation, storage and by-product valorisation where appropriate to the project.

Our experience combines diversified organic production, seasonal post-harvest handling, traceability and collaborative agricultural and agrifood proposal development. We have research and technical contacts including the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra and Industry & Project Engineering in Slovakia. Scientific tasks and partner commitments are defined for each project.

For Cluster 6 calls, we seek funded partner roles in organic farming sustainability, diversified crops and value chains, biodiversity monitoring and restoration, water and nutrient resilience, carbon farming and circular bioeconomy. Coordinators seeking a French experimental farm or practitioner partner are welcome to contact us.
