Who we are

About the farm

Our goat farm lies in Thauvenay, in the heart of the Sancerrois, between the Loire and the Canal latéral, four kilometres from Sancerre. We took over and rebuilt the goat farm in 2017; our Alpine goats graze on more than 40 hectares, we grow their cereals, hay and straw ourselves, and we make our cheeses only from our own milk. You can buy our Crottin de Chavignol and farmhouse crottins every day in our farm shop, which also stocks local products. During opening hours you can walk round the farm freely and at no charge, and finish with a tasting of crottins at different stages of ripening with a glass of Sancerre.
