<\/a><\/p>\nOn continue \u00e0 agrandir \u201d dit la jeune femme avec le sourire d’oreille en oreille qu’on lui reconna\u00eet.<\/p>\n
Effectivement elle ne cache pas son amour pour ses 60 femelles adultes, toutes nomm\u00e9es et qu’elle reconna\u00eet en les regardant. \u201cAna\u00efs \u00e0 6 ans, elle va chevrotter dans 1 mois\u201d dit elle, en grattant la ch\u00e8vre en question derri\u00e8re l’oreille.<\/p>\n
\u201cLes chevreaux sont de vrais joueurs.\u00a0 Ils vont partout o\u00f9 ils ne devraient pas!\u201d<\/p>\n
En plus de sa passion pour la ch\u00e8vrerie et l’appr\u00e9ciation des clients pour cette viande peu commune et particuli\u00e8rement savoureuse, Sophie a ajout\u00e9e la production d’oeufs fermiers \u00e0 son \u00e9talage depuis juin 2014.\u00a0 Les oeufs de ses 95 poules trouvent toujours preneur, pour le plus grand bonheur de sa client\u00e8le.<\/p>\n
D’ailleurs Les biquettes \u00e0 Flopine ont particip\u00e9 \u00e0 un projet pilote au cour de l’ann\u00e9e 2016 qui permettait \u00e0 50 producteurs \u00e0 petite \u00e9chelle de vendre leurs oeufs directement dans les march\u00e9s publics, ce qui augmente de beaucoup la rentabilit\u00e9 ainsi que la diversit\u00e9 au March\u00e9 Fermier du Comt\u00e9 de Huntingdon.\u00a0 Le projet est \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 des visiteurs, qui ont enfin acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des oeufs frais \u201cC’est un petit march\u00e9 mais je l’adore,\u201d dit elle. \u201cC’est le fun que les gens soient contents et qu’ils reviennent te le dire d’une fois \u00e0 l’autre.\u00a0 \u00c7a fait sourire et c’est gratifiant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lors d’une discussion avec Sylvain Gascon, le p\u00e8re de Sophie, nous apprenons que la viande de chevreau provient des jeunes adultes, rendus \u00e0 maturit\u00e9 \u00e0 environ 90lbs. \u201c C’est \u00e0 ce poids que nous y trouvons le meilleur rendement qualit\u00e9\/prix.\u00a0 Plus ils sont vieux moins ils grossissent, donc ils co\u00fbtent plus cher \u00e0 produire et le go\u00fbt est moins d\u00e9licat que ce que l’on souhaite” explique le propri\u00e9taire de la Ferme Chatrac qui est \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s impliqu\u00e9 \u00e0 la ch\u00e8vrerie. La viande est d\u00e9coup\u00e9e et transform\u00e9e chez une entreprise locale, la Boucherie Poirier \u00e0 Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague avant de revenir \u00e0 la ferme pour la vente.<\/p>\n
L’entreprise grandit et plusieurs d\u00e9fis pointent \u00e0 l’horizon pour la jeune agricultrice, dont l’int\u00e9gration dans un horaire d\u00e9j\u00e0 charg\u00e9, de son premier b\u00e9b\u00e9, attendu en juillet.<\/p>\n
Toutefois, c’est sans doute gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la collaboration sans bornes de son conjoint et co-actionnaire David que Sophie donne l’impression de pouvoir tout faire.\u00a0 Eux qui d\u00e9ploraient une productivit\u00e9 de leurs ch\u00e8vres en de\u00e7\u00e0 de la moyenne il y a quelques mois, ils ont r\u00e9ussit \u00e0 presque doubler le nombre de chevreaux en moins d’un an, ayant modifi\u00e9 l’alimentation pour que les ch\u00e8vres soient encore plus en sant\u00e9 donc encore plus heureuses.\u00a0 D’ailleurs la devise de cette agricultrice parle d’elle-m\u00eame: Animaux heureux \u00e9gale producteurs heureux.\u00a0 Tout est fait en fonction du confort et de la sant\u00e9 des animaux que l’on retrouve \u00e0 la ch\u00e8vrerie.<\/p>\n

En somme, l’esprit entrepreneurial qui fait la renomm\u00e9e de Sophie et Sylvain Gascon combin\u00e9 au sourire contagieux reconnue par tous ceux qui les c\u00f4toient laissent croire que Les biquettes \u00e0 Flopine deviendra t\u00f4t ou tard une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence en mati\u00e8re de production durable et rentable, et ce dans le plus grand respect de la sant\u00e9 animale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
