It’s the organic milk festival in the Grand Est

The cypress farm in Courtisols

This Sunday, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., the Rollet family opens the doors of the cypress farm to the public on the occasion of the organic milk festival in the Grand Est. A privileged moment to discover the life of the farm, dairy production in organic farming and a convivial moment around a snack. Local producers will be present for the greediest among you: milk, butter, cereals, eggs, jam, bread, vegetables and fruit, yogurts and even ice cream…

Vegetables and fruits from the farm

Claude Rollet took over the farm 45 years ago! From the start, he converted market gardening into organic farming, against all odds. Since then, he has switched the herd of cows to organic as well. Now retired, Claude passed the business on to his son Théophile, and still takes care of fruit and vegetables.

Passionate about dairy farming, I settled here in 1977

A family matter

At the Rollets, we do everything as a family. Béatrice, Théophile’s aunt and Claude’s sister-in-law, specifically takes care of the farm shop and the markets. A real little shop that also hosts other local products.

For the past two or three years, customers have particularly appreciated kohlrabi

Live the farm life!

Candice is currently a trainee as part of her studies, she is preparing a CGEA pro baccalaureate. The discovery of the cypress farm was a revelation for this future farmer. She discovered a passion for breeding dairy cows.
