Regional cheese and cream stores Yonne

At the exit of Saint-Bris-le-Vineux, near the cellars of Bailly, there is a goat farm that you must visit. Created by the very sympathetic Claire Genet, it proposes cheeses (100 % organic obviously, and made under our eyes!), but also a delicatessen composed of products coming from local producers. But you can also come and have a picnic, go for a walk with the goats, follow workshops (for example, on how to make goat's milk soaps). And animations are regularly organized for children (but not only!). A favorite.

Thomas Bouriquet proposes, in this store located near the quays of the Yonne, all the great classics as well as some beautiful discoveries (regional, but not only!). Especially, in the middle of chaource, epoisses and other brillat-savarin, home-made creations are also present. Don't hesitate to taste the "Tonnerre", a cheese rubbed with ratafia. Or the cow's cheese matured in Chablis. Note that Les Fromages de Thomas are also present on many markets in Yonne and Côte-d'Or. See their Facebook page or their website.

Cheese lovers enjoy buying their products in a real cheese shop! In Brion, the cheese maturer Leroux offers you a delicious choice for your taste buds. Seven specialities are on his menu: farmhouse cheese matured in Chablis, Chaource, Le Bussy cheese, farmhouse Soumaintrain cheese, farmhouse St Florentin cheese, Brillat Savarin and farmhouse Chaource... Here's something to fill your trays with good advice! A real pleasure to be found on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Joigny market.

5 km from Saint-Florentin, Sandrine and Philippe Gilot welcome you to their farm. This is an opportunity to taste (by reservation) their excellent soumaintrain, saint-florentin, tommes and other local dairy products. If you wish, you can also visit the farm, the cheese dairy and even (why not?) watch them being milked. A great time to spend with the kids! Gillot's products are also sold at the Drive fermier in Auxerre, and at several markets in the Yonne and Aube regions. Particularly on Saturday mornings in Tonnerre.

10 km from Saint-Florentin, the village of Soumaintrain is the cradle of cheese! It is in a typical farm of the region (with its open farmhouse and an old wrought iron gate) that the Lorne family has been making theirs for 3 generations. Boris, who has just taken over the family business, produces his tasty Soumaintrain in a mold dating back to the 50s. Don't hesitate to stop by and taste his farmhouse Saint-Florentin and his white cheeses. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to discover the life of a breeding farm.

Les Formes de Pierrette is in fact the story of Fanny, who settled on this organic farm that once belonged to her grandmother. Rainwater recycling, waste water treatment, hedge planting, wood heating, no pesticides, no herbicides, no GMOs in the fields... Here, you can buy the farm's cheeses (tomme or pierrettes), but also its many dairy products. And to enhance the discovery, guided tours will take you to the herd, the meadow, the milking parlour... We love it!
