The Combloux Tourist Office in partnership with the Ferme des Montagnards is launching a new ecological mowing service – eco-grazing – for individuals and professionals in Combloux and the surrounding area.
Brouteurs en herbe is a mowing animal rental service for practicing eco-grazing at low prices. This is the ideal service for owners and secondary residents of Combloux or the Pays du Mont-Blanc, who wish to maintain their green spaces at a lower cost while respecting the environment.

Chronobouse, the natural fertilizer delivery service
In addition to Brouteurs en herbe, we are launching Chronobouse, the very first delivery service for fresh dung intended to enrich your soil!
Our delivery person will deliver your dung directly to your home if you are located in the Pays du Mont-Blanc, thanks to packaging specially manufactured for this product, by a famous eco-designer in the region: Fabrice Peltier.
From its name, Pap'herbe, this eco-packaging aims to be virtuous. It is made from used straw from the farm, transformed into compostable paper. No need to handle the fertilizer with your hands, just plant the packet directly into your soil and the work will be done! You can also distribute the pellets contained in the package throughout your garden or vegetable patch.
This service is available now for the Pays du Mont-Blanc. For delivery throughout France, you will have to wait a little longer! To order your fresh dung, click on the button below.
Budding grazers, an ecological and cruelty-free service!
The use of herbivorous animals such as sheep, goats and cows represents a great alternative to mechanical maintenance of spaces. This more environmental approach helps reduce fuel consumption and mitigate pollution generally caused by the use of machines.
Our main priority remains the well-being of our animals. Delphine knows her animals better than anyone. All the logistics of the service have been designed in collaboration to respect the well-being, health and safety of our 4-legged herbivorous friends.

They have tested and approved Budding Grazers
Garden maintenance is really not my thing. I was a tester of Brouteurs en herbe and I really love it, it’s super effective!
When Delphine suggested I try the service, I found the idea really original and I went for it. The tests were really conclusive, the staff is great and the animals are good eaters. I plan to call on Brouteurs en herbe for the balcony of my second home this summer.
