Now in its fourth generation, the family leads a regenerative-agriculture operation: CCPAE-certified organic pastures, no pesticides or chemical fertilizers, natural forage rotation. They raise, process, and distribute their veal directly under their own brand, with two physical shops (La Pobla de Segur and Sort) and direct shipping across the Iberian Peninsula.
