Local, sustainable dairy production

A cooperative close to its producers

Today, our cooperative brings together:

  • Nearly 1,000 cooperative members
  • Over 600 human-scale farms in the Manche region

Each producer owns their own farm and participates in strategic decisions according to a founding principle:
One producer = one vote.

Our mission: delivering the best of milk

Producing differently, locally

Local and committed expertise

Our dairy producers supply our processing sites and share a deeply rooted local expertise. Their daily commitment ensures:
  • High-quality milk,
  • Local production,
  • Sustainable practices, respectful of nature and animal welfare
Farmers continuously train to improve practices and maintain high standards. Through their daily work, they contribute to the care of the land, shape the landscapes, and support rural balance. Cows are grazed on pasture for much of the year. Over 90% of their feed is produced directly on the farms. Their welfare is guided by a common charter, shared by all producers.
