Favouring organic cheeses and butter has several advantages both environmentally and on that of human health. Here are some reasons why many people prefer to opt for organic dairy products:

1. Respect for the environment: Organic production methods emphasize sustainability and preservation of the environment. Organic agricultural practices reduce the use of synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers and other harmful chemicals, thus contributing to the preservation of biodiversity and soil health.
2. Animal well-being: Organic dairy farms often apply higher standards in terms of animal welfare. Animals generally benefit from outside access, an adequate space to move and more natural living conditions.
3. Absence of chemical residues: organic dairy products are produced without the use of chemical pesticides, non -necessary antibiotics or artificial growth hormones. This means that chemical residues potentially present in conventional products are absent from organic products.
4. Nutritional quality: Although evidence can vary, some studies suggest that organic dairy products may contain slightly higher levels of antioxidants and beneficial fatty acids. This could be due to the production and food methods used in organic farming.
5. Support for sustainable agricultural practices: by choosing organic dairy products, consumers support farmers who adopt agricultural practices that are more respectful of the environment and who contribute to the reduction of the ecological footprint of the dairy industry.
6. Less impact on water resources: organic dairy farms tend to use fewer fertilizers and chemicals, which reduces the risk of pollution of groundwater and surface sources.
7. Human health: Organic dairy products may be preferable for certain people concerned with limiting their exposure to chemical and antibiotic residues associated with conventional farming.

The adventure of the ancestor cheese dairy began in the heart of Center-du-Québec in 1986, when dairy producers made the decision to revolutionize their production method. Their choice is made on an environmentally friendly approach, where the soil is considered a living organization - this is the beginning of their commitment to organic farming. Through tests, seminars, field visits and group exchanges, these producers refine their skills and perfect their techniques.

The agricultural habits of the founders undergo a radical transformation. They experiment with alternative approaches to care for their cows, rethink the aging of calves, adopt composting and ecological manure, and discover the benefits of crop rotation. Their daily lives harmonize with the ecosystem that surrounds them.

With their common experience, the ten founders decide to create the entity that will become the ancestor. Their mission is singular: promoting organic milk in a distinctive way. Rather than following conventional methods, they transform organic milk into a range of organic cheeses.

After years of diligent work and perseverance, an organic cheddar developed from unpasteurized milk was created in the fall of 1993. The reception reserved for these products is so enthusiastic that in 1996, this collective of farmers concretizes its Dream by erecting the L’Entrese cheese dairy.
