Thèmes

• Sustainable tourism : On the farm:
  Food self-sufficiency: we produce 95% of our animal feed from grass, hay, corn and barley.
  Circular economy: animal waste, in the form of manure or slurry, is recycled on our meadows and crops, thus limiting fertilizer purchases.
  No bare soil: all our cultivated land is planted with meadows or cereals, with plant cover in winter.
  Water management: recovery of rainwater from roofs and use of springs.
  Landscape maintenance: our plots are bordered by woodland edges, which we maintain and use in the form of wood chips.
  Short supply chain: our raw milk is collected daily and processed into Tomme de Saint-Ours at the village cooperative.
  Human resources: we are a company with 3 partners (including two 25-year-olds) and one employee, enabling us to share tasks and organize work in a way that respects the balance between private and professional life. We attach great importance to the value of the collective: GAEC on the farm, CUMA for equipment, Cooperative for our milk value chain.
