Learn more about us

Since 2008, Berridge has brought students together in Normandy to live, explore and create in community. We believe creativity is more than what you make. It is a way of engaging with the world, seeing things differently and imagining what might be possible. Our mission is to give students the time, space and freedom to discover what living creatively means to them.

La Vaquerie Farm is the home of our food-focused programs. From hands-on cooking to exploring the people, places and traditions behind French food, discover another way to experience life in Normandy.
