Rural France: Farmers' Fair




There was so much to see in the Sarthe last week! This rich region grows pork, cattle, poultry, and cereals.
The farm pork, free range chicken, and beef that A World in a PAN uses, comes from this area. Tractability is here a reality.
So we were present at the last Framers' Fair or Comice Agricole, a show where cattle owners exhibit their best animals, where you can buy a tractor or a sewing machine, and savor the many local products the region offers (see my post on rillettes). Two Motbeliard veals were resting, and the little lamb discovering the "comice", while "Blanchette", the Holstein cow did not want to go back to the truck. How fun!
