Bergeries Marovine

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 photoperiod in sheep production.

Thanks to Joanne's expertise, they were able to implement photoperiod for the breeding cycle of their ewes in order to achieve year-round lamb production. This team also pays particular attention to the feeding of their animals. Unlike mass production, they are primarily fed corn and alfalfa silage that is grown directly on the land.

On these last ones, three breeds of ewes are raised, each selected based on their main qualities: the Romanov for their high fertility, the Leicester for their maternal instinct and good milk production, and finally, the Hampshire for their exceptional quality meat and high yield.

The 2,000 animals are distributed across four sites, each with its own mission: fattening, breeding, gestation, as well as birthing and weaning. When they are about 5 to 6 months old, the lambs will then leave the sheepfold.

You can discover the excellent products from Bergeries Marovine by visiting our Lamb section. If you are looking for inspiration, we suggest the rack of lamb, a cut that deserves to be known and will allow you to appreciate all the expertise of Martin and Joanne.
