The owners

The Flober Inc. farm is a family-owned dairy farm. The owners are Nick Bernard and Patricia Labonté. Their son Alec, who is already very active on the farm, will be next in line to take over. Nick is also very involved in his community. He is a director at the Caisse Desjardins des Cinq-Cantons and president of the CUMA Jeannoise, an agricultural equipment cooperative.

Methods

Efficiency of work and simplicity are the driving forces of the farm. The owners share some of their machinery with other producers in the area. In 2020, they redesigned a new section to keep replacement animals in loose housing to increase the animals’ comfort.
