39 6 Weeks Pregnant Sharp Pains

Summary of visit with Bernard and Danielle Lehoux, Dairy Goat

meeting of producers on their farm with Francis Touchet (producer flour, beef and AMAPien convincing), Serge Patent (contract manager), Frances and Dan iel Brunet (AMAPienne and treasurer of the AMAP) April 23, 2010.

At 10, Bernard welcomes us on the farm while Dan Hes still in his lab at the preparation of cheese.

Dan Hes and Bernard moved to The Jardraie family in 1995 after 15 years in the Larzac where they produced organic goat cheese.

Farm covers 30 hectares which 15 ha are devoted to breeding a fifty goats. The remaining land is leased, including Maria (our peasant bread for those who do not know!) Who cultivates a portion of its grain.

Producers are very committed to the quality of their environment and promotes biodiversity leaving ample room for hedges, which provided very rich brush, give the good taste of local cheeses.

Goats are from Alpine breeds. The 50 mothers who produce the milk, add this year 11 young goats who will join the herd.

Goats are a rich and varied food by grazing in h

hast hedgerow grassland and woods, and this natural food is supplemented by barley (about 12T/an 350g/jour/chèvre)

They are milked once a day. Trafficking ceases during three months time for mothers to finish

\u0026lt;!--[ endif] -> st1 } their pregnancy and give birth to kids.

Right now, the goats are still in a pen because the young shoots of the plants are too rich and could make them sick.

Later, Dan Hes guide us in his laboratory where it manufactures all morning cheeses, curds, fresh, semi-dry and dry, ash to ash Pine Barrens, without any addition of industrial products.

No labeling of organic production, but two self-tests per year to the Directorate of Veterinary Services and controls unwanted DFS.

Hes Dan and Bernard are not labeled as organic for reasons of cost, but their sincerity, their willingness to speak with clarity of their work, farming method and know-how for making their cheeses, have convinced the representatives of our CSA.

Thank Hes Dan and Bernard for their hospitality!
