![]() Before then it was known as "Évry-Petit-Bourg" and had a population of only a few thousand. In 1965 Évry became part of the French new town initiative and took its current name. Évry had just been chosen to become a " new town" of the suburbs of Paris, destined to host tens of thousands of suburbanites, and so the name "Petit-Bourg" (literally meaning "little borough, small town" in modern French, although etymologists think that this name was in fact the corruption of an old Gallic word with a totally different meaning) was deemed too old fashioned and improper for the new large suburban city of Évry to be built. On 29 June 1965 the name of the commune was shortened into "Évry" only. The factory owed its name to the hamlet of Petit-Bourg (one of the three hamlets on the territory of Évry) where it was built. In 1881 the name of the commune was changed into Évry-Petit-Bourg at the request of entrepreneur Paul Decauville, owner of Ateliers de Petit-Bourg, a large boiler works located in Évry and at the time the largest employer in the area. After the conquest, the name was corrupted into Latin Apriacum, then Medieval Latin Avriacum, and later Evriacum. The name "Évry" comes from the Gallic name Eburacon or Eburiacos, meaning "land of Eburos" (a Gallic patronym), perhaps the leader of a Gallic tribe in the area before the conquest of Gaul by the Romans. Website: the commune was called Évry-sur-Seine (meaning "Évry upon Seine").What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?

Sometimes the rain-washed soil and seeds away. Sometimes it seemed to rain everywhere but here. We’ve watched the best and worst of weather come and go, sometimes it has been just what we needed. We’ve tried and failed and learned how to try something different, but we haven’t quit. Hmmm, the biggest struggle would have to be our lack of experience… it truly is the best teacher. Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way? Hope to see you here at Lynfield gardens this summer! You can find our hours of operation for “You-pick”, special events, and all scheduled sessions on our Facebook or Google business page. We’re working hard now to prepare for the 2022 summer season which begins in July. Weekend events are always scheduled in advance and a link for tickets can be found specifically on the Facebook page. Groups are welcome to schedule private floral or fall sessions. We schedule educational farm days for kiddos as well including scavenger hunts and hayrides. Fall months are full of “Fall Bucket List” activities including pumpkin carving contests, hayrides, bonfires, kettle corn, smores, and hot apple cider. The “Floral arrangement sessions” are enjoyed by all ages throughout the summer and into October. Now, our flowers cover approximately 6.5 acres with both annuals and perennials. We planted a small 20×60 “pollinator patch” in 2018 to entice more pollinators to visit our fruit trees and berries. The small pumpkin patch offers a variety of pumpkins, squash, and gourds perfect for fall decor, pumpkin carving, and arrangements. Our blackberries stretch over 1/2 a mile and include thornless and thorned berries for easy picking. ![]() Since that time, we’ve cleared areas and planted 200 fruit trees including pear, apple, peach, and plum. We purchased our farm in 2016 and immediately began planning. We are a “You-pick” farm with PickTN products. Hey there!
