THE FARM
Our chickens enjoy a safe, calm, and free range life in appropriate dry dens and ample outdoor space throughout the year. They receive a healthy and balanced diet of grains and fresh greens, and regularly forage freely in our gardens. Their happy growth is ensured through our dedicated attention and experienced care.
Our chicken breeds are: Araucana, Plymouth Rock, Warren, Sussex, Rhode Island, Leghorn, Wyandotte, Minis, and Silkies etc. ensuring not only a colorful daily egg basket, but delicious and healthy eggs with shells that are white, beige, light brown, dark brown, blue, and green-grey eggs.
We also keep rabbits whose health is ensured through a healthy and balanced diet of fresh greens, hay, carrots, apples and some grains, as well as, a generous bedding of dry straw. Our rabbit breed is called California White known to be gentle and calm with lovely white fur and black ears and paws.
The pollination skills of our bees are essential for our gardens. Our hives are placed on the green roof of our garden cottage, in the midst of fruit trees and flowering plants where food is abundant and rich allowing us to harvest a multi-floral honey up to two times a year.
Our composting worms are another essential pillar in our garden and farm. Thanks to these tireless llittle animals with their big appetite, we harvest a highly nutritive vermicompost (also called vermicast) rich in beneficial microorganisms since 20+ years. We then use this compost in our gardens to enrich and enhance the soil and support the growth of our trees and plants. .
Charming their way into our hearts are several cats and a family dog, as well as, turtles, singing birds, hedgehogs, butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs, and many other beneficial small animals and insects.
Every living creature has its role in our garden and farm!
