Market gardeners France

Of Neapolitan peasant origin, Mickaël Mérone began his professional career in show business. But the need to get back to the land became pressing, and in 2012 he reconverted to organic production. Since 2017, the market gardener has been based on his farm, where he cultivates using sustainable and ecological methods. He produces seasonal vegetables as well as 40 aromatic and medicinal plants. Please let us know when you are coming.

When you enter this store, you're greeted by a festival of colors and aromas that evoke the rich diversity of the region. Les Terroirs de Garonne is like a fresh market where every product is carefully selected for its quality. Fruit and vegetables come from producers in the South-West, guaranteeing freshness and flavor. You'll always find seasonal produce: sweet spring strawberries give way to juicy summer tomatoes, while crisp autumn apples give way to vitamin-packed winter citrus. A great place to stock up on fruit and vegetables at great prices.

Forget the cold shelves of the supermarkets, put on your boots and stroll the aisles of the Racinerie. It's so much better and so much cheaper! The quality of his products is the key to his success. Gérard Michaud is particularly keen to explain his work, the nature of his products, and to make the consumer aware of his role as an eco-citizen. Outside the picking period, the farm also welcomes you to offer you its seasonal vegetables, its flowers in buckets (in spring) and its fresh eggs, to be enjoyed all year round!

What a beautiful story this couple has not hesitated to leave the Paris region to settle in Haute-Vienne and start a market gardening activity, oriented permaculture and agro-ecology.

Present on fairs and markets, it is also possible to order packages and baskets online, with delivery directly to the house. Jams, honeys, spreads, home-made pies are also available.

From the restaurant business, Sandrine Muller moved on to fruit and vegetables. She took over this business in the centre to give it a 100% organic orientation.

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.

Coming from a long market gardening line, Jérôme Meyer is a pioneer in direct sales. This young colmarian market gardener had the good idea to install, in July 2018, a vending machine for fresh vegetables (carrots, potatoes, salads, courgettes, tomatoes, beets, etc.) in front of his property located on rue de la Semm in Colmar. That is 54 traps full of seasonal produce. Air-conditioned, they have been restocked twice a day and are accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Payment is made in cash or by credit card, after which the chosen locker opens automatically. This innovative system was set up in collaboration with the Alsatian company Filbing Distribution.

6 hectares of south-facing vines on the foothills of the Pyrenees, in an idyllic setting at the crossroads of Mediterranean and mountain climates. That's all it took to create a unique wine. At Olivier, we don't blend our cuvées. Here, we're dealing with a purist who wants to live off the land and with the land: "the winemaker must take a back seat to the grape variety and the terroir; he's only an instrument, not an end in itself". This rebellious spirit is reflected in his growing methods, and the result is a delicious nectar, natural with zero sulfites, but straightforward and structured!
