What are the specific characteristics of dairy farms for sale?

You can buy farms dedicated to conventional, High Environmental Value or Organic milk production.

There are a variety of marketing methods available, including cooperative or private dairies, direct sales with or without a processing plant. 

Processing milk into yoghurts, ice creams and cheeses offers attractive income prospects, but requires additional capital, a potentially very high volume of work and specific skills (particularly technical and commercial).

Many breeds of cow are used for milk production: Prim'Holstein, Normande, Montbéliarde, Brune, Abondance, Jersiaise, Tarentaise, Pie rouge des plaines, etc. 

Dairy production areas are located mainly in the west of France (Brittany (Morbihan, Côtes d'Armor, Finistère, Ile-et-Vilaine), Normandy (Manche, Calvados, Orne) and Pays de Loire (Maine et Loire, Vendée, Loire Atlantique, Mayenne, Sarthe), in the Hauts de France region and in Grand Est of France. These are regions where the climate is favourable to the growth of grassland, the basis of dairy cow feed.

These differences generate significant variations in the selling prices of farms in France. You'll find dairy farms for sale from €300,000 up to several million euros.

What equipment does a dairy farm need?

A dairy farm to be taken over generally comprises farm buildings (including stalls or barns for cows and heifers, a nursery or calf pens, etc.), livestock and crop equipment, land to buy or rent, fodder stocks, livestock and possibly a dwelling house.

Dairy cow barns include various types of equipment with varying degrees of automation: milking parlour, milking robot, feeding at the feed fence or trough, automatic or manual scraping, etc. 

What role do dairy farms play in French and European agriculture?

The highly dynamic French dairy industry generates total sales of €39 billion and employs 298,000 people. 

France is Europe's 2nd largest milk producer, behind Germany. 

There are 54,000 dairy farms delivering milk from cows, with a herd of 3.6 million dairy cows. 

The average French dairy farm has 66 cows producing 385,000 litres a year from 92 hectares of farmland (including 32 hectares of grassland). 

2.1% of the milk collected by dairies comes from organic farming. 

France is also famous for its cheeses: there are almost 1,200 different cheese formulas, and there are 51 PDO (protected designation of origin) and 10 PGI (protected geographical indication) dairy products in France.
