When and how did you start this activity?

Mélanie: We have been installed since 2021 with our sheep and the bread started in July 2023. It is a project that we took time to develop and which is really the fruit of our meeting. I worked in administration for several years but I no longer found myself there. Loss of meaning, I needed a return to the earth. Arnaud was the son of farmers and I met him when I needed a change.

Arnaud: It seemed important to us to defend peasant agriculture and organic farming, to produce food in a respectful way. That's what makes sense to me, I wouldn't have settled in if I hadn't met Mélanie.

What is the connection between your animals and bread?

These are two activities that complement each other very well. The transformation of cereals into bread is magical! The cereal residues then pass into the feed of our animals and the manure returns to the fields: the loop is closed. We are moving from producer to consumer, almost 100%.

Do you have any recipe ideas with your lamb?

It's a fairly fine meat that cooks easily, you can't fail it: whether it's overcooked or undercooked, you can still get it tender. With the shoulders, there is the tagine. Here we eat the offal cut into cubes and sautéed in a pan with spices. Without forgetting the 7am leg of lamb of course.
