Dairy visit.

After sampling all the cheeses yesterday we were keen to see where all the milk smokes from. It’s takes about 2 litres of milk to make one little Camembert. We found a farm nearby who were open to the public. They have about 60 cows to milk and all their milk goes to Graindorge Fromagerie where a lot of local cheeses are made.

These cows are massive and produces 20 litres of milk per day. Even though they have an automatic milking machine, it still takes someone to herd the cows in, release them, clean up after them.
Interesting to see though. Funny thing we went to the supermarket this afternoon and there is only one type of milk and only a couple of small bottles, no cream at all. Guess the cheese uses it all up.

Some cute little calves there as well waiting for Mama to be finished milking. And a cage full of rabbits( pets or dinner) we weren’t sure.Okumaya devam et
