The best local producers Gers

Local products are honored at Délices d'Isabelle, a farm that favors conviviality. Here the watchword is simplicity. In the yard of the farm, roosters, hens, chicks, cats, and bitches rub shoulders in complete indifference. You will cross geese and ducks gambolling in the open air before the force-feeding. Isabelle will be there to welcome you and give you explanations on the breeding and the transformation. She has developed a wide range of products for sale in the store; foie gras, confits, pâtés, ready-made meals...

Carine and Arnaud Chotard work with their partner duck and goose breeders to transform their farm produce into delicious dishes. All products are homemade, and many have won medals at the Concours Général Agricole. You can buy preserved and semi-cooked foies gras, duck breast stuffed with foie gras, pâtés, rillettes and dry duck sausage with foie gras direct from the farm.

This farm raises fat ducks and free-range pork. The family farm, managed by Delphine and Nicolas, has a canning factory.

It is a traditional breeding, that the owners will be happy to show you around (make an appointment by phone).

Bastien Beaurain, farmer and canner, raises and processes his ducks.

The park can be visited freely, as long as you respect the quietness of the animals.

"Duck first," Nadine and Aurélie would tell you! In the shop of the Ferme du Petit Larroudé, the duck is king. Raised in the open air, force-fed in the old-fashioned way with grain corn from the farm's own production, it is carefully cooked. You will find all the typical recipes you love: pâtés, rillettes, garbure, confit, foie gras... all at a very affordable price for an undeniable quality! In the small shop with its exposed beams, charm and friendliness are waiting for you. The mistresses of the place also offer a superb gîte in a traditional Gascon house.

For 3 generations, the Boutines family has raised, fed and processed ducks in the purest Gers tradition.

It's impossible to miss Lou Ptit Mercat on the road between Vic-Fezensac and Nogaro.

Here, you can fill your basket with wine and armagnac, vegetables, fruit, farmhouse cheeses, bread, honey, eggs and meat. Gift sets are also available. More than just a store, Jean-Christophe Darbeau wanted to create a real space for exchange, with regular events and tastings.

At the Mouliots farm, nestled in a Savès valley, Isabelle Bossetto and her brother Thierry carry on a four-generation family tradition of raising fattened ducks. The Muscovy ducks spend their days outdoors. They are force-fed with white corn grown on site, and slaughtered and processed on the farm. The store offers a wide range of delicious home-made products: foies gras, confits, fresh or dried duck breasts, cooked dishes, traditional (cassoulets, tajines...) or festive (whole royal duck, duck breast stuffed with foie gras...).
