FARMERS FOR GOODNESS
Our farmers work hard. Without them, the goodness we enjoy every day would stop at the cows! Here are a few ways we look out for them.
When farmers are paid fairly for their milk, they can better support themselves. So we’ve made that the standard for the hundreds of French farmers we work with.
Our farmers show they care by implementing sustainable practices. And we care about them! That’s why we’re committed to paying higher than market average for their milk.

POSITIVE IMPACT
ON FORESTRY
We’re constantly striving to find ways to limit the impact we have on the environment, while making sure our cows are fed the best feed. Our goal is to achieve zero deforestation impact! We’re taking steps to spread only goodness!
Our free-grazing cows eat on their own, helping preserve our forests and sustain biodiversity.
We encourage planting trees and hedges to provide our cows with shade while helping fuel a thriving ecosystem and enrich the soil for delicious grass. Just ask our cows!
How do we protect biodiversity? By developing pasture areas around farms that let earthworms do their job. When soil is protected and not turned over, the soil captures carbon and nitrogen, and it protects and stimulates biodiversity such as insects and pollinators.
