OH MY GOAT!

Do you remember going to the farm as a child? That sweet smell of straw, the more or less noisy animals and that irrepressible desire to touch everything. Would you like to activate your Proust’s madeleine? Meet the bubbly Karine and her happy goats. Nestled in the hills above Corrençon, the “cabrioles” goat farm faces the mythical peaks of the Vercors, and is just waiting for you.

LOVE IN THE AIR

Karine is neither a farmer’s daughter nor a Corrençonnaise. Originally from the north of France, she fell in love with Corrençon en Vercors at the age of 5 during a vacation.

She returns regularly with her family. As Karine grew up, she decided to study engineering. During an internship on a goat farm, she fell in love with goats.

And then, true love fell into her lap: Christophe, a pure Corrençonnais. In 2001, after completing their studies, they decided to set up their own goat farm in Corrençon. Karine runs the farm, while her husband Christophe works as a ski instructor in winter and as steward of the Corrençon golf course in summer.

The Vercors has a special way of welcoming and sharing, and I love sharing my visits with people and passing on my knowledge.

ONE, TWO,... FORTY GOATS!

When she set up, Karine had around thirty goats, and over the years she has gradually built up to forty. She makes no secret of the fact that setting up was difficult, and that like any other project, it required perseverance and determination. And Karine has no shortage of ideas! She’s constantly innovating, improving her workshop and her goat farm. For example, for the past 15 years, she has been developing tours. Initially for groups, she now offers educational tours for the whole family. And the icing on the cake! It’s possible to have a snack at the farm.

In winter, facing the peaks of the Vercors, you can enjoy gourmet waffles, hot apple juice and hot chocolate made with goat’s milk. And in summer, you can treat your taste buds to goat’s milk ice creams in atypical flavors.

LET'S GOAT TO CORRENÇON EN VERCORS

What Karine loves about the Vercors is the chance to live with the seasons. She can’t get enough of the magnificent scenery. And it’s easy to see why! The panorama from the goat farm is incredible. You can see La Grande and La Petite Moucherolle, the Tête des Chaudières and the first peaks of the Vercors High Plateaux Reserve.
Karine also tells us that she was won over by the people who shape this territory. When she moved here, she discovered welcoming, authentic and endearing people. According to her, the people here love their land and live by it. They know how to adapt and develop in many different activities.

The people here love their land, they live off their land, and I think that’s beautiful.

THE VERTACO BOARD

“I’ve recently been lucky enough to get an electric bike and I love it. I take advantage of this bike to discover the paths around Corrençon.
It’s a real pleasure for me! One ride I often do is up to the Glacière to enjoy the magnificent view once at the top.”
