La Ferme de la Hutte
A goat farm located 5 kms away. It is possible to watch and help milking the goats at the farm (NB: in winter, from December to February, the milking stops to give way to gestation and then to birth in early March. During this period, care is provided to the livestock on Saturdays). Sylvie Lhoste and her husband sell their organic cheeses and other local products.
