We have made the choice in our various supplies to employ local suppliers, and as equitably as possible. Thus, we produce our hay and do our various rotations of meadows to feed our horse Toundra du Moulin, a Trait Poitevin of the local mulassière breed, and our small herd of sheep. With the help of the peasantry, we can collect our beans and triticale seeds for our green manures. After the harvest, we make our Gamay de Bouze plots available for producers of organic medicinal plants to harvest the red vine leaves recognized for their benefits for blood circulation. In exchange, they provide us with various organic plants, such as horsetail or yarrow, which we need for our biodynamic herbal teas and decoctions. For our dry materials, we put into circulation Burgundy bottles for still wines. This choice is reinforced by our membership in the “boutabout.org” association which allows individuals and catering professionals in the West to be able to recycle our bottles. We use natural cork stoppers produced and processed in organic (António Almeida Cortiças), or produced according to FSC certification (Porto Cork) located in Portugal. It is all these small daily gestures that bring us our balance. - Les Terres Blanches
