Our Farm

The Ferme des Peupliers is first and foremost a story of people... It has always been a family-owned farm dedicated to producing quality Norman dairy products. Located in the heart of Normandy, at less than 100 km of Paris, for more than half a century we have been dedicated to indulging food-lovers by producing and preparing what we know best: milk. 

La Ferme des Peupliers is a family-story ! 

 

In 1947 Albert DELABDRE and his family settled in La Ferme d'Orgeville, Flipou, with only a few cows on a 60ha field. Then in 1963 he created the recipe of the first plain yogurts. The Ferme des Peupliers brand was born! 

His daugther, Christine DELABRE took over in 1982 with her husband Mr. FLORENTIN. The FLORENTIN contributed a lot to the developpment of many recipes, most of them still in our range today!

After the FLORENTIN's era, the farm was for sale. François CHEDRU, a rural vet, took up this family farm again in 2007. His mission has been to bring a new dynamism to the Ferme des Peupliers while preserving artisanal production methods. His leitmotifs are quality, taste and excellence.  To ensure that this idea is maintained, his sons, Antoine & Edouard, are preparing to take up the torch.

They have been co-leading the farm since 2018. Their mission is to preserve the farm dairy savoir-faire and heritage, while innovating to insure the ecological transition of their model.

 

 The secret of our delicious products lies in complete control of the production cycle, from the production of fodder, to feeding the cows, right up to the manufacturing of the yogurt.

 

 The use of simple and artisanal methods together with a specific composition of the milk confer on the yogurts of the Ferme des Peupliers a creaminess and flavour typical of old-fashioned products.

 

 


“To obtain good yogurt, good milk must be used; to obtain good milk, the cows must be well housed and well fed.”

What's more, the cows and calves are bred with plenty of love and care. Surrounding the farm, the farmland, pastures and grass meadows enable us to produce our own fodder, ensuring healthy, local and without GMOs food for the cows. They are comfortably accommodated and can lie down on a carpet of straw, under which a soft rubber mattress has been placed for their comfort. Whenever the Normandy weather allows it, the cows can graze in the fields around their barn.
