"People like to buy dairy products Their Directly From the Growers'
"We are based in Burgundy since 1994 with my husband. Our son joined us in 1999 and has promoted the conversion of dairy farming to organic farming. We process 175,000 liters of milk per year. We carry with cheese: the Souilly, the Toma, Soumaintrain, cottage cheese ... From the beginning we started in direct selling. Today, I make four markets a week in Chablis (Sunday), Auxerre (Tuesday and Friday) and Joigny (Saturday). The farm is open all year round, 7 days / 7, 16 to 19 hours. From outside, people see me working, it makes them want to stop. In summer, there are many tourists, they like to buy their dairy products directly from the producer. "
