Sortie Oudhna : ferme biologique Elixir Bio et Site Antique / Seconde gr.8+gr.9
As we’ve studied WWOOFing (World Wide Opportunities on Organic farms) in English class with Mrs Hamadbachir, we went on a school trip to Oudhna to visit “Domaine Elixir Bio”, an organic farm.
As soon as we got there, we had an organic breakfast composed of traditional bread “Mlewi” , honey with typical Tunisian olive oil, a boiled egg, and Sicilian cheese.
Once breakfast was over, we split into groups for different workshops:
- making, tasting, and learning about the production of Sicilian cheese,
- learn how to plant and grow rosemary
- distillate four different types of plants: rosemary, geranium, thyme, and lavender,
- discover the benefits of those plants and how they’re used in everyday life (medicine, cosmetics).
After those indoor activities, we took a walk to visit the farm and see many animals: goats, sheep, donkeys, cows, horses, chickens, and ducks. We even had the chance to try milking a cow, which was definitely a highlight for some of us !
As the farm tries to be sustainable, there is a small lake that collects rainwater and there are solar panels too.
For lunch, we ate a traditional Tunisian dish: couscous with chicken, made entirely with farm products. Everything we ate was organic and came from the farm itself. After this delicious meal, we had a fun ride through the fields on a tractor.
In the afternoon, we headed just a few minutes away to explore the archaeological site of Oudhna. The site was full of ancient Roman ruins. We walked around huge stone structures and climbed up to the top of the massive amphitheatre. The view was amazing but sadly cloudy and windy . It was a chill way to end the day , a perfect mix of nature, tradition, and history.
