Our farm is located " Au Fond des Bois " near Rexton on a 267 acre property bordering the Saint Nicolas river. All our cheeses are made here in our cheese house and using only milk from our goats and no additives. Our 75 Nubian, Alpine and Saenen milking goats are raised here and give birth to more than one hundred kids every year. 

We greet visitors at the farm year round, for a visit, cheese tasting or for sales. We also propose products from other local farms and artisan cheeses from New Brunswick and Québec.

Our products are sold at the Dieppe, Fredericton, Bouctouche, Shediac and Edmundston Farmer's Markets, at l'Idylle restaurant in Dieppe, at the Lotus Bleu restaurant in Edmundston and in Farm kiosks of the region.

Our products are available year round.
Our goats produce fine silky milk from the end of February until Christmas. They have a break in January and February. The kids are born in February and March. Our ripened cheeses are available year round.
