    • We offer you a range of donkey milk soaps made on our farm.

      Our soaps are made by cold saponification with a minimum of 20 % donkey milk and natural ingredients from organic farming.

      Cold saponification is an artisanal method based on a chemical reaction obtained by mixing fatty substances (such as vegetable oils and butters) with a strong base (soda for making solid soap). It makes it possible to produce superfatted soaps rich in vegetable glycerin, giving soaps with moisturizing, nourishing and softening properties.

    Very authentic. I have never been to a donkey farm but it was lovely and very friendly people.

    We had a wonderful experience with our three-year-old. Well presented demonstration (in French) of the milking process, right in front of our kids' eyes. All kids had a chance to brush, pet, and admire donkeys up close. We were all completely charmed by the donkey ride and accompanying warmth of the hosts at the farm. Truly a place worthy of your patronage.

    Nice farm to go to with the children. We went with 2 children (2 and 5 years old). You can do fun things, brush donkeys, see how a donkey is milked, taste the milk, and ride a donkey. Donkeys are well cared for. It was a bit of a long wait between activities.
