Encadrement
As the farm manager, Thomas originally trained as a health, safety, and environmental engineer.
After 20 years of experience in industry, he earned a BPREA certification to transition into the agricultural sector. Every day, he looks forward to spending time with his coworkers—the goats!
Marie is currently the assistant director of facilities for people with disabilities.
Every day she lends a hand on the farm, as she is trained in herd management, cheese production, and social services.
In the medical-social sector, Marie is trained in various types of disabilities and in alternative and augmented communication (Makaton, FALC, etc.).
