Jean-Patrick and Nadine are mobilizing to make you discover the wine of the Country of Agenais that they produce on their farms.

This fish farm is built around 2,000 m² of ponds fed by the clear waters of the Ciron river, producing almost 100 tonnes of trout a year, raised with the greatest care and respect for the environment. Moderate growth, controlled feeding and good water quality result in healthy, tasty fish and the Aquaculture Respectueuse de l'Environnement en Aquitaine label. Ferme du Ciron also houses a high-quality artisanal processing workshop. Today, it offers consumers a wide range of products for sale at the farm or in the boutique: fresh fish (gutted, fillets, steaks), oak-smoked trout (whole fillets or hand-sliced), trout marinated in Gravlax or in Tataki with Floc de Gascogne (an original creation from Ferme du Ciron), preserves in jars for terrines, plain or spicy trout spreads and crumbs, and trout roe. Among our new products, we're particularly fond of our Jerky trout, presented in vacuum-packed shavings and ideal for aperitifs. The word Jerky comes from the Quechua language family of Peru, and refers to "dried and salted meat". Ferme du Ciron drew inspiration from this traditional South American preservation method to create Jerky Trout. After being sliced and marinated in soy sauce, honey and spices, the trout fillets are dried to concentrate the flavours and give a unique crunch.

In July and August, the Place Armand-Fallières comes alive with local farmers' markets. Organized under the auspices of the department's Chamber of Agriculture, these markets are a great place to meet and exchange ideas. These summer evenings are festive, with large tables set up so you can enjoy your shopping on the spot, and musical entertainment (different artists perform each week). These night markets complement the traditional Thursday morning market.

La Ferme des Selles is a restaurant located in Lougratte, Lot-et-Garonne. It offers traditional cuisine based on local produce and regional specialties.

Dishes on offer include duck tournedos with porcini mushrooms, foie gras escalope with fruit and duck daube with prunes. It can accommodate up to 50 people, and reservations are essential. In addition to the restaurant, Ferme des Selles has a store where you can buy foie gras, duck sausage, herb terrine, duck daube with prunes and fresh duck meat.

There are so many reasons to discover this beautiful summer farmers' night market! For the quality and variety of products to take away or eat in. For the wonderful atmosphere among the tables and stalls, and for the day chosen, which is usually quiet in terms of entertainment. Breeders, cheesemakers, winemakers and even snail producers await you in the magnificent hall, alongside honey and pies. Petit Futé recommends this gourmet event.

Sylvie is at her stall from the first light of day, and has been since 2003. Her poultry, labelled, is supplied by a Landes producer and transformed by her.
