The main feedstuffs are pasture (grasses, clover and the occasional flower or vegetable from our gardens!) and hay (dried pasture). At certain times of the year, the sheep are fed grain (barley, oats or wheat) as a supplement.
Yes. We use animal (calf) rennet in most of out products to maintain traditional integrity. However, our “Brebis Frais” and Feta are produced using microbial rennet.
Under Canadian law, any cheeses less than 60 days old must be pasteurized - consequently our “Brebis Frais”, “Brebette” and “Sheep in the Meadow” are pasteurized. Our “Eweda”, “Ramembert” and Feta are available pasteurized or raw. In 2008 we introduced 2 new raw milk cheeses – “Brigitte” and “Mouton Rouge”.
No. However our meat, milk and cheeses are “natural”, meaning that we do not give antibiotics prophylactically and we do not use hormones to increase milk production or growth. We are also members of “Local Flavour Plus” who have audited our farms on the criteria of animal welfare (a component not considered in organic certification) as well as sustainable farming practices. We abide by the “5 Freedoms” regarding animal welfare as outlined in the section regarding our farms. We take stewardship of our land and animals very seriously!
