Farmers come to visit Gilles in his farm, La Guilbardière.
Gilles raises 35 diverse breeds of dairy cow on 73 hectares, including 50 hectares of meadow. Meanwhile, Anne spreads knowledge through farm visits, processes milk on the farm and welcomes around 1700 guests each year.
They are self-sufficient in feed, thanks to the way they manage grasses. They’ve invested in a dryer to improve the quality of their fodder too.
The farm’s biodiversity is also enhanced through the use of ponds, hedges and agroforestry, and by avoiding any chemical crop fertilizers.
