Ferme du Bras
2025 Gold Lait’xcellent Award
Ferme du Bras, Saint-Isidore, Chaudière-Appalaches-Sud
Serge Dumont of Ferme du Bras, located in Saint-Isidore in the Chaudière-Appalaches-Sud region, has approximately thirty lactating cows and 105 hectares of cropland. He is extremely diligent in his farm’s upkeep. Clean stalls, bedding and equipment are priorities. He also pays a lot of attention to each cow’s health condition, feed and genetic selection. Serge grew up on the farm and always wanted to become a milk producer. He likes being his own boss, working outside and with his family. To help him with his work, he can count on his mother Thérèse Fournier and his half-brother Claude Morin. In 2010, the barn was renovated to provide more comfort to animals. The renovation created a much more comfortable environment both for the animals and the producers.
Serge Dumont has received “Very Great Distinction” certificates in recent years, but this is the first time that he has won a Lait’xcellent competition. Serge is proud of his enterprise and happy that his efforts have been rewarded.

Ferme Bilogo 2010 in Saint-Léon-de-Standon, Chaudière-Appalaches-Nord
Jean-François Gosselin of Ferme Bilogo 2010, located in Saint-Léon-de-Standon in the Chaudière-Appalaches-Nord region, has 60 lactating cows. They have been housed since April 2025 in a new building with free stalls and robotic milking. Jean-François is a perfectionist dairy farmer. He spends a lot of time keeping up his barn and looking after the animals’ well-being. The new cowshed saves Jean-François time and makes his farm work easier. It also provides excellent comfort to lactating cows. Jean-François co-owns the farm with his brother Guillaume. Guillaume mainly takes care of the field work, but helps out plenty in the barn as well. In the spring, Guillaume also takes charge of the maple stand with 7,000 taps located 5 minutes from the family farm.
Ferme Bilogo 2010 has received several “Very Great Distinction” certificates in recent years, and this is the second time that they have been provincial winners in Quebec. The first time they achieved this was in 2014. The fact that they are finalists this year is a wonderful surprise for these producers, since the herd is currently transitioning to new modern facilities.
