The Birds and the Bees

It all begins here.
The Talk
                 1+ 1 =              

Before you know it.....


After approximately six months on Jean Paul's                          
meticulously kept farm, where the  animals are kept in
large pens and able to roam on his large, fenced-
farm, in very humane conditions....interesting
word choice when talking about animals...


the veal, (le veau) is taken to a facility,
stunned in the head and strung up by the feet,
after which  their throat is slit;  then it's back to the farm.


Two days later  Monsieur Munier,
the butcher, is ready to receive
Rachel, Gilles, Marianne, a neighbour and myself
to package the various parts of the veal.

no this is not wine but hot coffee

All parts of expertly butchered including the feet and the tongue.

What exactly do you do with the feet?

Ingredients for Pressée of duck Foie Gras Mi-Cuit and Veal feet with Herbs 

Steak Haché
 anyone?  Hamburger with veal.

Veal is not white!

After several hours of  packaging
Veal number 4972, who was born on
April 26, 2011 and weighed  143,6 kg,
we left.

Buying local takes on a whole new meaning.
