Volailles Cadier

Volailles Cadier is a farm based in Vouzan, south-east of Angoulême. The farm sells its poultry directly to private customers, to order, as part of a short supply chain initiative.

History and origins

The business is run by Cécile Cadier, a farmer in Vouzan. Founded in early 2014, the farm has, from the outset, combined poultry farming with the cultivation of cereals (oilseeds and pulses).

Expertise

The crops grown on the farm are used to feed the animals directly, ensuring the traceability of their feed.

One of the distinctive features of Volailles Cadier is its direct-from-the-farm sales model. Customers can order their poultry and collect it directly from the farm.

The farm offers live, plucked or ready-to-cook poultry, including chickens, guinea fowl and ducklings. Slaughter days are Wednesdays and Fridays.

This approach maintains a direct link between producer and consumer, whilst promoting short supply chains around Vouzan and the Pays d’Angoulême.

Products

• Chickens. The farm offers chickens, particularly in a ready-to-cook format. A whole bird that’s ideal for a family meal and for traditional recipes.
• Guinea fowl. With a more distinctive and flavourful taste, guinea fowl fits perfectly into regional cuisine: roasted in the oven, served with seasonal vegetables or prepared with a light sauce.
• Ducks. Ducks complete the range of poultry offered by the farm. Their availability may vary depending on the time of year and orders received.
• Capsons, turkeys, geese. Festive poultry for the end-of-year celebrations.

The signature product

The ready-to-cook chicken is one of the flagship products to discover at Volailles Cadier.

For a simple yet hearty meal, it can be roasted in the oven with potatoes, garlic, herbs and a little butter. For a true Charente touch, it can also be served with a Pineau des Charentes sauce, used sparingly to preserve the flavour of the poultry.
