Market gardeners Vienne

The two brothers, Vincent and Simon Baille-Barrelle, work together to develop the family orchard, which has been awarded the "Vergers écoresponsables" label, with quality, traceability and authenticity as their guiding principles. Visit the farm store for their apples (some of them organic) and juices, as well as strawberries and many other fruits and vegetables in season, and many other products selected by them. And why not try your hand at picking beans, zucchini and squash in the field or vegetable garden - a fun, family-friendly activity!

In the clay-limestone soils of the Haut-Poitou, the Rolls Royce of melons is 150 years old, and the Poitou-Charentes region alone produces a quarter of the national output. The Haut-Poitou melon was the first melon certified in France in 1996. A plot is grown every 5 years, only in the open air, in an area bounded to the south by the Auxances valley, to the north by the Loire and to the west by the Clain and Vienne valleys. 13 demanding farmers share the cultivation of this delicacy.
