Le Beson farm

Le Beson farm was founded in 2018, initially with just a few animals. In 2021, a new stable was built, where there are currently around 75 dairy goats and sheep! A variety of cheeses are produced and, in a smaller part, the Guichardaz family also cultivates 1 hectare of land for the production of vegetables, potatoes and red fruits. The farm is located in the beautiful setting of the Sant'Orso meadows in Cogne.
