The Jura offers an unusual setting to anyone looking for a poultry farm for sale in Jura: the Bresse jurassienne, in the west of the department, lies within the protected designation area for Bresse poultry, while the plateaux and the Revermont hills hold farmhouse units raising table birds and laying hens, often free range. The listings brought together here are placed by farmers handing over their holding, by rural agencies and by notaries; they state the area of the livestock building, the production system and the equipment included. They add to the wider set of poultry farms for sale in France.
This page completes the listings with what really decides a purchase: farmland prices in the department, the areas where properties come free, the condition of the buildings to check and the verifications specific to poultry. To prepare a first setting-up or a change of career, our white paper « Créer une exploitation agricole » (in French) describes the whole path, from professional prerequisites to the funding plan.
Land remains the largest item when buying a poultry farm. According to sales recorded by the French tax administration (DVF, vineyards excluded), the median price of agricultural land in Jura (39) stood at €2,304/ha in 2025, with an average of €2,546/ha across 124 sales; 80% of transactions fall between €1,650 and €4,123/ha, against a national median of €5,307/ha.
The SAFER benchmark of land values (2025 figures) puts vacant land and pasture at €2,540/ha (+3.7% year on year, +12.4% over ten years), against a national average of €6,460/ha; land already let sells around 17% lower.
The value of such a property is built mainly outside the land: the size and quality of the house, insulation, ventilation and heating, silos, fenced and planted ranges, the finishing accommodation where the system requires it, and the slaughter and packing equipment. Add the flock, any membership of a production organisation and, for farms selling direct, a business fed by markets and loyal shops. To place the price, rely on our land price observatory and our financial calculators.
Properties on offer range from a recent table-bird building to a modest farmhouse poultry house, completed by grassed and sometimes planted ranges and by movable shelters. A laying unit usually takes the form of a floor house with nests, a collection belt and a temperature-controlled store. Buyers check the frame and insulation, the ventilation, the heating, the condition of the floors and entry room, the water and feed supply, as well as the suitability of the ranges for rotation and their protection against predators and wild birds.
Holdings run under a demanding set of production rules call for particular equipment and practices, which should be described precisely before any offer, since they govern access to the quality label once the farm changes hands. An on-farm slaughter and cutting room, with its cold store and approval, is valued separately. In holdings sold with a dwelling house and land, ask for the price to be apportioned between the professional tool, the house and the land, so that the funding package stays legible.
The western plain, around Bletterans, Chaussin and the Finage near Dole, carries most of the department's poultry tradition, with mixed farms combining crops, grassland and birds. The Revermont and the plateau around Lons-le-Saunier and Poligny hold diversified holdings where a poultry unit completes a herd or a vineyard. On the plateaux and in the Haut-Jura, from Champagnole to Morez, cheese production shapes land use and poultry units remain small and geared to direct selling.
Land is more affordable in the plain and the north of the department than on the cheese-making plateaux, where demand from dairy holdings keeps pressure constant. The tourist appeal of the range and the proximity of Lons-le-Saunier, Dole and the corridor towards Burgundy provide steady outlets for farm produce, which counts in the valuation of a holding put on the market.
The classified installations regime applies according to flock size, by declaration, registration or authorisation, and any change of operator must be brought to the prefecture's attention. The incoming farmer examines the order in force, the biosecurity plan, the management of the sanitary void between batches and the measures applied during avian influenza risk periods, which bear particularly on range-based units. Where the holding claims an official quality label, its registration with the managing body and the associated inspections should be verified before signature.
On the land side, part of the parcels is usually rented: the rural lease continues with the buyer subject to the landlord's agreement, and the transaction remains subject to the structures control, the French authorisation regime for taking over farmland, and to SAFER's pre-emption right. Check manure storage and spreading capacity, the distance to third parties, the applicable planning rules and, in hilly areas, rights of way. A separate appraisal of buildings, equipment and land makes the negotiation safer.
