Who we are

About the farm

We raise dairy cows in Saint-Galmier (Loire): Gilbert took over the farm from his father in 2000, we farm 40 hectares and produce around 240,000 litres of milk a year, certified organic since 2012. Alongside the milk we sell veal and frozen minced-beef patties, as well as the cheeses of AlterMonts – the collective organic cheese dairy we founded with three other farms in 2020. You are welcome at our farm shop by appointment by phone, and you can also find us at the AMAP de la Coise and at the AlterMonts Friday market.
