You'll also find delicatessen, chocolates, wines, cosmetics and many other products that are both ecological and economical. And don't forget the tastings organized all year round!

For three generations, the Canguilhem family has been growing market garden produce in Coursan, in the lower plain of the Aude. Renowned for its famous black and gold stamped Charentais melons, it also offers, for direct sale in its store, asparagus, artichokes, squash, tomatoes, eggplants, strawberries and grapes from the farm. Other seasonal fruits and vegetables and local groceries, including homemade olive oil, complete the picture. Practicing a reasoned agriculture, the farm is certified HVE3, guarantee of food quality.

Boris, a passionate young market gardener, has a triple objective: to grow healthy, certified organic vegetables and fruit in Sigean, close to the point of sale and accessible to all pocketbooks. A total of 32 species of vegetables are harvested in the field on the 1.5 ha he cultivates in summer and winter. Freshness is guaranteed by the fact that harvesting is followed by direct sale, with no "cold room" stage. Among these vegetables, two varieties are customer favorites: ogen melon and mini watermelons.

Promoting short circuits! That's why 8 local producers have decided to open Le Comptoir des producteurs. You'll find their products, as well as those of many local winegrowers and farmers. On the shelves of this small locavore supermarket, seasonal fruit and vegetables, farmhouse ice creams, cheeses, yoghurts, charcuterie, meats, honey, gingerbread, olive oil, bread, wine, eggs, pasta, jams and cookies await you for 100% local shopping.

On a dozen hectares, the Pearce family invites you to harvest directly more than 20 varieties of fruits and vegetables during the beautiful days. It doesn't get any fresher than this! In addition to being interesting in terms of quality, this system offers you a friendly outing in the middle of an exceptional natural setting. And the prices are unbeatable! Keep an eye on the farm's calendar so you don't miss any of the pickings. If you don't have time to participate in the pick-up, you can always buy the fruit and vegetables at the stand next to the road.
