The herd:
The herd is made up of around 15 cows, mainly of the Brunes des Alpes and Montbéliardes breeds, renowned for their hardiness and adaptation to the mountain environment. They graze on the surrounding meadows throughout the year.
Responsible production:
The farm extends over some forty hectares, all of which are certified organic, enabling us to produce most of the hay needed to feed the herd over the winter period. This guarantees quality milk all year round.
Where to buy:
. Farm sales by appointment only.
. Sales at the Tarascon-sur-Ariège market, every Saturday morning.
. Festival des Saveurs, early September.
