Each gestating sow is raised in a group under a shelter with plenty of straw, while maintaining access to pasture during the summer. After giving birth to the piglets eager for their mother\u2019s milk, the sow can move around freely, all while protecting her young and providing them with warmth. The piglets are weaned after 35 days (double the period required by standard regulation), providing them with increased immunity and overall well-being. Note that the practice of teeth and tail mutilation is forbidden.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6300\" src=\"https:\/\/monepicierbio.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/porcpelouse-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"porcpelouse\" width=\"200\" height=\"134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monepicierbio.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/porcpelouse-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monepicierbio.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/porcpelouse.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Producers see to the well-being of the pigs and respect their natural behavior and preferences. The pigs have access to a large pasture, where they can graze on young clover and other grass, and practice their innate behaviour to grub in the ground. They are free to run, play, and roll around on the ground as they wish, and to do so throughout the entire summer. On cold days, the pigs enjoy a large indoor open space, covered with plenty of hay, where they can rest with their peers. In addition, the primary breeding location has natural ventilation and plenty of natural lighting, which allows the animals to follow a natural day cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"panel entry-content\" id=\"tab_organic-beef\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6295\" src=\"https:\/\/monepicierbio.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/hommevaches-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"hommevaches\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monepicierbio.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/hommevaches-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monepicierbio.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/hommevaches-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.monepicierbio.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/hommevaches.jpg 548w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Our bovine producers aim to respect the animals\u2019 natural behaviour and growth pace. Therefore, the bovine are not given antibiotics or growth hormones. During the summer, the bovine are raised in the open air on the pasture near barns. They are free to enjoy the open space while grazing on the fresh grass they so love. Overnight, and during poor weather conditions, they are free to seek shelter indoors. During the winter, the entire herd is housed in large open-air barns. Bedding with abundance of straw is available in order to ensure each animal\u2019s comfort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"panel entry-content\" id=\"tab_organic-veal\">\n<p>Contrary to the common practice of providing powdered milk to the calves, our calves are fed naturally from their mother\u2019s teat.

Organic veal has a darker meat than the meat of milk-fed veal. Given that the organic calf grazes on grass, it absorbs more iron into its muscles, which, in turn, darkens its flesh.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-6313\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.treize.pro\/monepic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/boeuftrefle1-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"boeuftrefle\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monepicierbio.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/boeuftrefle1-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monepicierbio.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/boeuftrefle1.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Our beef is very popular for its distinct flavour. This special taste is attributed to the fact that the beef is fed exclusively organic feed, which is a blend of legumes (clover, alfalfa, and trefoil) and grasses (timothy grass, bromegrass, tall fescue, and ryegrass) all cultivated on our land. In fact, this forage increases omega-3 content in the meat as well as considerably alters the meat\u2019s flavour.
