Located in Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, Bergeries Marovine has been offering exceptional quality lamb for over 15 years.
This project is the work of Martin Brodeur-Choquette and Joanne Cameron, a couple of producers passionate about sheep. Indeed, while he bought his first ewe at the age of 15, she studied agronomy and completed a master's degree on the use of photoperiodism in sheep production.
Thanks to Joanne's expertise, they were able to implement photoperiodism for the reproductive cycle of their ewes to obtain year-round lamb production. This team also pays special attention to the feeding of their animals. Unlike mass production, they are mainly fed corn silage and alfalfa grown directly on the land.
On these farms, three breeds of ewes are raised, each selected for its main qualities: Romanov for their high fertility, Leicester for their maternal instinct and good milk production, and finally Hampshire for their exceptional quality meat and high yield.
The 2,000 animals are spread across four sites, each with its own mission: fattening, reproduction, gestation, as well as lambing and weaning. When they are about 5 to 6 months old, the lambs will then leave the sheepfold.
