FERME DU HALLEUX

About FERME DU HALLEUX

La Ferme du Halleux is an organic farm in Comblain-au-Pont, near Aywaille and Liège, set in a highly scenic natural area above the Amblève and close to the Ourthe. The site combines bio arable land, woodland, meadows, orchards, hedgerows, and biodiversity-focused landscape features, and part of it is included in Natura 2000. The farm presents itself as a place where agriculture, nature conservation, and environmental education come together.

Beyond farming, the company positions itself as a participatory agro-ecological project open to groups and visitors who value nature, sustainability, and outdoor activities. It welcomes youth groups, walkers, birdwatchers, painters, cyclists, and other nature-oriented audiences, and it also offers a renovated former barn and a holiday cottage for stays on the farm.

Core Values

• Biodiversity: The farm highlights its role as a refuge for birds, hedgerows, orchards, meadows, and other habitats, and describes itself as an “enclosure of biodiversity.”
• Sustainability: It explicitly favors camps and stays that reduce waste, use local purchasing, encourage carpooling or public transport, and rely on environmentally respectful products and practices.
• Environmental education: The site is used to sensitize adults and children to nature, responsible consumption, and sustainable living through direct experience of the farm.
• Local and responsible food: The project promotes healthy food, short supply chains, and a more reasoned form of cultivation as part of its broader vision.
• Respect for landscape and nature: The farm emphasizes the exceptional scenery of the site and the care taken to preserve and enhance it through planting and ecological measures.

Unique Aspects

• Exceptional natural setting: The farm sits on a plateau with wide 360° views over a very hilly landscape, above the Amblève and near the Ourthe, making it especially attractive for nature-based stays.
• Strong biodiversity infrastructure: Several kilometers of hedges, around a hundred trees, flower strips, conservation orchards, and other agro-environmental measures have been established on the site.
• Natura 2000 presence: Part of the property is classified as Natura 2000, reinforcing its conservation profile.
• Dedicated nature-oriented accommodation: The former barn was converted specifically for camps and groups that commit to a sustainable camp concept, which is a distinctive positioning for a farm stay site.
• Participatory project orientation: The farm states that it does not want to remain farmers alone, but rather to see other people help bring the land to life through agro-ecological and participatory initiatives.
