About agriculture in Morteau
Morteau is located in the Doubs department of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France, nestled in a valley within the scenic Jura Mountains close to the Swiss border. The surrounding rural landscape is characterized by high-altitude plateaus, lush coniferous forests dominated by spruce and fir trees, and rolling green pastures that rise into rugged limestone ridges.
The region's agriculture is highly specialized, centering on dairy farming for the production of prestigious protected designation of origin (AOP) cheeses, most notably Comté and Morbier. The iconic Montbéliarde and French Simmental cattle graze on the alpine pastures during the summer months, and local farms also produce the famous Morteau sausage (Saucisse de Morteau) which relies on traditional pork rearing and smoking methods using pine sawdust.
For agronomists and agricultural workers, employment opportunities primarily revolve around dairy farming, milk processing facilities (coopératives laitières or fruitières), and forestry management. There is also seasonal demand for pasture maintenance, silage harvesting, and winter forestry work, offering a stable environment for those specializing in high-altitude agriculture and sustainable livestock management.
