Ferme des mille vaches, Industrial dairy farm in Buigny-Saint-Maclou, France.
The Ferme des Mille Vaches is an industrial dairy farm in the Picardie region that operates large-scale cattle housing facilities. The operation focuses entirely on milk production using mechanized feeding systems and automated herd management throughout the facility.
The farm began operations in September 2014 and represents a new direction in French agriculture. This shift toward large-scale industrial dairy production marked a turning point in regional farming practices.
Local farmers and environmental groups organized multiple protests, including a demonstration of 700 people in Abbeville during February 2012.
The location sits in a farming area of the Picardie region and is visible from nearby roads. Visitors should know that this is a private operation with restricted access to the grounds.
A biogas system on the farm converts animal waste into electricity that powers thousands of homes in the surrounding region. This energy recovery approach is a key part of the operation's infrastructure.
