Ferme Geranik is a first generation farm consisting of 250 Holstein cattle, 480 acres of soy, corn and hay, and 80 acres of cashcrop. Ferme Geranik is also part of a cheese co-op, which produces a variety of local cheeses from the farm’s dairy. The Benoît family built a 1,000m3 anaerobic digester connected to a 370kW generator to diversify their farm, generate a second income without having to expand their farm operation, and save on energy costs for their farm.
