During school holidays, the Les Montagnards farm opens its doors and welcomes you for a visit rich in learning!
A new generation farm, this farm has state-of-the-art tools to improve animal welfare, an example of a successful combination of technology and tradition.
History of Les Montagnards farm
The origin of Ferme les Montagnards dates back to 1982, the date of its construction. The establishment welcomes milk cows, then cows specially selected to produce mountain cheese. Everything went well until the summer of 2010 when the farm disappeared in a fire. After this dramatic event, the owners took 3 years before relaunching a project: making a new start with the well-being of the animals and employees as a guideline. This is how in 2013 the farm rose from its ashes with new innovative infrastructures!
A one-of-a-kind farm
Since its reconstruction, Les Montagnards farm is an example of which Combloux is very proud! The animals are treated with affection and enjoy excellent living conditions. Everything is designed to comply with both regulations and animal welfare. To meet this challenge, the farm has invested in state-of-the-art equipment. For example, cows are milked when they want by an intelligent robot, capable of recognizing the cow that comes its way. You can also witness this process during the visit!
