The confinement put La bèvre baillarguoise in danger. Since the implementation of strict measures to combat the spread of Covid-19, this organic goat farm, located in Baillargues (Hérault), near Montpellier, has accumulated stocks of cheeses. Because the biquettes obviously did not stop their milk production.
"The moment that I feared has arrived, we are reaching our maximum storage capacity," Cédric Carpentier lamented on Friday in a video on Facebook. We lost school catering, then catering. These are important parts of our volumes. The supermarkets we work with have reduced or even stopped orders. The next step, I'm milking and throwing away my milk. "
A “surge of solidarity”
"It's heartbreaking, it's economically unbearable," continues the owner. I don't know how we are going to take the test. The Baillarguoise goat appealed for solidarity with the stores to help them market their cheeses. "If you want to save the peasants, buy their products. Give us a hand. "
Since the publication of the video on Friday, a real “surge of solidarity” has started to take place. "Orders have arrived, supermarkets have freed us from the gondola heads," explains Cédric Carpentier to 20 Minutes . And it is still possible to give La chèvre baillarguoise a boost.
