Buchette de Manon and the famous Rove Goats of Provence

Like https://www.facebook.com/ChannelCheese

Tucked away in the rolling hills of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region in France, you'll find farmhouse cheese-makers Francois and Vanessa Masto and their small herd of Rove goats -- a breed commonly found in this area and known for their long, lyre-like horns.

In this video we experience the early morning milking then follow as Francois takes his goats up into the hills to graze the day away. As the 'padré' of the herd, Francois has to lead the goats up the hill, make sure they don't stray too far or get into trouble, then guide them back down in the early evening.

It was a truly magical experience to accompany Francois and his herd up into the hills and gaze down on the surrounding valleys with only the sound of the goats' bells tinkling in the warm air around us.

A big thanks to our guide for the day and location assistant, Fanny from Mons Fromager Affineur.
