Continue the discoveries with Alexandre, a breeder at heart, and Emilie, a seeker of meaning, who have taken up the family torch of the Ferme d’Alcas for over 5 generations. They care for 300 ewes who produce certified organic and Demeter milk. This milk, so carefully harvested, is delivered in part to Société for the manufacture of Roquefort and for the rest, transformed on the farm into cheese: Bleu d’Alcas as well as yaourts with multiple flavors, which have made the reputation of these biodynamic producers, well beyond the Aveyronnais department!”

Proud of this know-how, they share their passion by warmly welcoming you to visit their farm. Through a photo exhibition tracing the steps involved in making yogurt and cheese, their work and the specifics of biodynamic farming will hold no more secrets!

At the end of the visit, it’s the gourmand moment with a tasting of their farm cheese made from raw ewe’s milk, their yogurts or their jams. You’re sure to come away with a new perspective on agriculture and the living world.
