A traditional farm in Basse-Corrèze specialising in the breeding of Limousin cattle, the Mas farm is now dedicated to the production of organic Perigord nuts. The Dufour family has chosen to plant three varieties of walnut trees, as each one has its advantages: the Corne is the oldest variety with a delicious taste, the Franquette is another old variety, with a delicate flavour perfect for pastries and the Lara is a recent variety, delicious as a fresh walnut.

There is a small shop on the edge of the village, on the road to the church of "La Combe". Maurice and Francine Guionie sell the fruit of their production there. Their Limousin cow breeding farm is just below. They reserve to their visitors an adorable welcome. In addition to fruit and vegetable jams, their great speciality is dandelion! Their star products are the fermented drink and the aperitif with dandelion flowers, following a family and ancestral recipe kept secret. All the products are made by hand on the farm and have not undergone any chemical treatment. Their shortbread, crunchy and nut tarts will accompany your coffee deliciously. In summer, you will find them on the farmers' markets of the department's countries.

Catherine and Fabrice Gobert, artisan-preservers, offer a very rigorous selection of the foies gras, pork, duck and goose meats used.

La Maison Lepetit is a cannery of craftsmen-manufacturers specializing in goose and duck. It all began in 1984 with the takeover of a cannery where private individuals came to have their canned food crimped and sterilized. 30 years later and three generations later, the Lepetit family continues to supply you with goose or duck foie gras in all its forms: whole, in blocks, truffled, confit, rillettes, but also specialities such as goose neck stuffed with foie gras or the Périgord pâté with truffles or even "le délice briviste" made with pork and foie gras with cognac. Rather sweet? Let yourself be tempted by figs and apricots stuffed with foie gras. Go to the factory located in Ussac (5 km from Brive) for a visit, or even a culinary workshop around foie gras and duck!
