The **Pyrénées-Atlantiques (64)** department is distinguished by a strong and unique agricultural identity, marked by the duality of its two historical territories: **Béarn** and the **Basque Country**. It is one of the French departments with the highest number of farmers, a testament to the sector's vitality. The varied terrain, ranging from alluvial plains to mountain peaks, and including verdant **hillsides**, offers a rare diversity of agricultural products.
Agriculture here is dominated by livestock farming, often practiced in a traditional and extensive manner. If you are looking for a **farm for sale**, you will find that the **mixed farming** model is very common. **Sheep farming** is particularly emblematic, notably for the production of sheep's cheese (Ossau-Iraty PDO). Local breeds such as the Basco-Béarnaise or the **Manex** (black-headed or red-headed) are perfectly adapted to this terroir and to transhumance to the **summer pastures**. These mountain areas play a crucial role in feeding the flocks and managing the land.
Cattle farming is also a significant activity. The department is the birthplace of the famous Blonde d'Aquitaine cows, renowned for their quality meat. Numerous beef cattle farms benefit from the rich meadows and pastures offered by the mild, humid oceanic climate. Dairy production is also present, forming a substantial part of the local rural economy.
In terms of agriculture, the plains, particularly around Pau and in the north of the department, are well-suited to arable land. Corn cultivation is predominant, serving both animal feed and sales. Viticulture (Jurançon, Irouléguy) complements this rich agricultural landscape.
Major cities like Pau, Bayonne, Anglet, and Oloron-Sainte-Marie are surrounded by dynamic rural areas where **land** is a major issue. Agriculture in this department is characterized by average farm sizes that are often smaller than in the rest of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, but with high added value thanks to **on-farm processing** and **direct sales**, which are very popular with local consumers and tourists.
