It's probably one of the most award-winning fresh creams in La Manche! Known as "Crème Hardel", it has been delighting locals and top Parisian restaurateurs alike for years. This family-run business offers entirely local production: fresh milk arrives here every day, and is then processed and distributed between Lessay and Avranches. Once again, the cream won a prize at the latest Salon de l'Agriculture: the number of awards - richly deserved!

Brewery La Loup Bar has been offering its excellent beers for five years now: the friends who decided to take up the challenge of producing and distributing these delicacies have certainly done the right thing. Several beers are on offer, including a blonde, a white, an amber, a brown and a triple! They're all excellent, and have already delighted many consumers who swear by them! To find them, go to the Internet: you'll find a list of the many retailers there!

Just like its twin establishment, located not far from here, in Ardevon, this nice sign of the well-known pastry brand offers cakes and many other sweet little wonders. The youngest - but not only - will be delighted to find something to eat here, before or after the visit of Mont Saint-Michel, located just next door. You can easily park here, the opening hours are wide, since this workshop is open every day from morning to evening!

An address to know in the region! First of all for the atmosphere and the setting. But also for the high-quality products, whether it be the sausages, the crépinettes, the diplomas and plaques, and other trophies awarded in the various competitions to understand that Pierre Guilbert, a true local figure, is a chef in this field. The small light green shop front is often the setting for a rather long queue, but what one would not do to taste the wonders coming from this venerable house, opened in 1869?

This farm located a few kilometres from Granville offers you excellent products, some of which are unexpected in the Normandy countryside. Because if the Ferme de l'Épine allows you to get teurgoule or rillettes and many products from partner farmers (cheeses, yoghurts or butter), it also offers you real foie gras! Delicious, this one is entirely produced on the spot, and meets a nice success in the area. The farm welcomes you three days a week, on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

This farmer is known for the excellence of his products, and for good reason. Here, pigs are raised, but not just any old way: they are raised for 18 months (three times longer than in intensive farms), and the animals are fed with peas, barley, corn or beets. The result is excellent, healthy and tasty meat that Ludovic Lemancel, the owner of the farm, offers on Friday and Saturday mornings at local markets, and on Friday afternoons directly on the farm.

Ferme du Moulin des Marais is an organic farm located in Liesville-sur-Douve, Normandy. It offers direct sales of organic AB meat from Normandy. All products on offer come from the farm and are certified organic. The farm is open to the public, and it is possible to order online.

One is called Nicolas, the other Gabriel, and their association gave birth to Plumes Normandes! This open-air poultry farm. Their farm, partly built with their own hands, is indeed the place where, from birth to marketing, the birds grow. The quality is there, and the place can be visited from time to time, just to know more. To find the products, follow the social networks, the sales being itinerant. Les Plumes Normandes also offer various local products.

This cellar is a veritable haven for lovers of alcoholic beverages - in moderation, of course! Here, you're sure to find what you're looking for: white, red and rosé wines, champagnes and whiskies in abundance. Run by an enthusiastic team who are always ready to give you good advice, the place is vast and, contrary to popular belief, is not only frequented by Englishmen who have just arrived in the city's port.

The microbrewery principle is developed here, and we know how to do it! And with good reason: after several years of amateur brewing, it was time to move up a gear, and for good reason: excellent vintages are developed here. From grain crushing to bottle labelling and fermentation, everything is done locally. Blonde, amber or brown, they're well worth a try! Fée d'Orge has numerous distribution outlets.

Excellent creations and a magnificent location: the Sainte-Mère-Église cookie store lives up to all its promises! Renowned for the quality of their manufacture and the care given to raw materials, the creations come in cookies, chocolates, confectionery and a thousand other wonders. You'll also find many other delicatessen offerings here, as well as an excellent tearoom, so you can savour the local cookies as quickly as possible!

This farm offers excellent pork products, which are raised on site with respect for the animals and the environment, and processed in the farm's laboratory. These products are excellent, and can be found on site, in the small store adjoining the laboratory, or in a pretty boutique in Coutances.

Run by Sophie and David Leroy, already known in the business for offering an online fish sales service, this fishmonger's is a must in the east of the city. Offering fish from Cherbourg's fishing boats, you will find here fish directly from the port of Cherbourg, oysters from Normandy, many local products, dishes prepared on site and splendid seafood platters. Freshness guaranteed, and good prices!

This initiative deserves a tip of the hat from the Petit Futé! Christophe and Lydie Bourdelles have made quite a change in their lives, moving to the Manche and launching their own cider production! The result is a delicious cider, available in brut, doux and demi-sec. Christophe and Lydie also offer other products, such as apple juice, which is also excellent. We highly recommend it!

It's a great farm to visit, and a delight for the curious, especially children. But if you're looking for local produce, this is the place to go! Apples take pride of place here, with juices, ciders and calvados, as well as a host of sweet and savoury treats - after all, Normandy is a land of many cookie factories! A detour to this farm is highly recommended, especially as the welcome is excellent and the advice very pertinent.

Do you know what a "pouc" is in Norman dialect? Simply a canvas bag, in which you can put absolutely everything you want! And Les Sabots d'Eugénie, these are very nice poucs, mainly with local products, that you can order. Cosmetics, confectionery, caterers, cider makers and other marvels can find their products among the 8 "poucs" on offer, "sweet, drinking, sea, well-being", etc., and according to different price ranges. An excellent gift idea, for others or for yourself!

Here's a great store that takes us on a journey to the lands of Ireland: wool sweaters, scarves, chunky cardigans, whisky, tea... In short, everything you need to give a little touch of those windswept green lands.

For those who wish to continue their journey in the Cotentin region, the same group has another store in Cherbourg, at 18 Quai de Caligny.

For many years now, Fabrice and Sylvie Enée have been the "kings of coffee" in the prefecture, in a store that is now over 30 years old. And with good reason: early every morning, freshly ground coffee awaits customers, whether Arabica, mocha, decaffeinated or not, and even capsules for your machines. But that's not all: teas by the dozen, chocolates and other local delicacies make the place a veritable den of flavours. It's one of the city's most popular spots.

Welcome to Alexis and Maxime! This beautiful eco-responsible grocery store is located downtown: local products are king here.
