Fruit and vegetable producers Franche-Comté

Founded in 1957, this family-run farm has been working organically since 1985. You'll find apples on some 12 hectares and pears on 4. There's no doubt that Le Clos de Rochy knows how to make us rediscover the good taste of natural produce: fruits to munch on, dried vegetables, oils and honeys are all on offer in the farm store or in the various sales outlets in the region. These flavors can also be found in bottles, with tasty apple juices and ciders that are the envy of our friends in Brittany and Normandy!

For several years now, Christophe Lanoe has been growing saffron crocus naturally, which he transforms into a spice or liquid. Like its neighbor from Chissey, the plant has acclimatized very well. From this fragile, subtle plant, he produces syrup, candy, orange meringue, jam and saffron apple jelly. These products go well with Crémant and Champagne, as well as Jura wines such as Savagnin. Be sure to let us know when you're coming, as this flower requires a lot of attention.

Maison Marc, named after the grandfather, is the last remaining artisanal pickle producer in France! First of all, there's plenty to be amazed about. Here, gherkins are grown without pesticides or herbicides, harvested by hand from the 16 hectares planted, and packaged in Chemilly. A truly local product! And a crunchy family story. Products range from gherkins and asparagus to veloutés and mustards. A list of their many sales outlets can be found on their website.

Alexandre Lepoivre grows his apple trees here, on 6.5 hectares. More than thirty varieties of apple, from the crispest to the tartest, not forgetting the oldest varieties, are all found in the products that the winery offers for direct sale. Apple juice, cider vinegar, jam and brandy, plus jams made from fruit grown in the orchard. All 100% organic. To be enjoyed without moderation! A chambre d'hôte and a gite are also available. All at very affordable prices.

It's an extraordinary garden! Families come here to pick seasonal fruit and vegetables, as well as flowers and herbs. A boutique of local culinary riches also offers the chance to fill your basket with local products selected for their quality: delicatessen, condiments, drinks, cheeses, as well as boxes of meat (beef, pork, veal and lamb) and poultry (chicken and guinea fowl). You'll come for the pleasure of tasting extra-fresh produce. Don't forget your boots and containers!

The Au Quatre Accords association currently brings together some fifteen professionals in the Doubs and Jura départements, made up of grower-gatherers. L'Herberie has since opened up to other professions working with aromatic and medicinal plants, including craftsmen and herbalists. L'Herberie aims to promote trades based on ancestral know-how, and is working with the CFPPA in Montmorot on a Franco-Swiss program to promote aromatic and medicinal plants.

Nowadays, more than ever, we eat locally and in season. And we favor short circuits. This is the very spirit in which Le Jardin de Laborde was conceived. What better way to find out where the salad comes from than to come and pick it yourself? Nothing could be fresher or more fun for children and adults! For the gourmets, the store is also full of local products: cheeses, poultry, yoghurts from the farm next door... Le Petit Futé highly recommends this address, just a stone's throw from Auxerre, and which refocuses us on the essential.

An establishment bringing together the produce of Vergers des Beaumonts, Eleveurs de la Charentonne and Ferme de Port Aubry (58). You'll find fruits and vegetables, butcher's cuts and charcuterie of French origin, as well as cheeses. Choice and quality are the order of the day. We appreciate the possibility of ordering seasonal baskets of fruit and vegetables, as well as the store's wide opening hours: enough to fill up on healthy products every day of the week, including Sunday mornings!

La ferme du They is a certified organic farm since 1996. Thanks to their crops, they offer for sale in their shop various flours, potatoes, and a wide range of pork, veal, poultry, eggs and honey! There are even horses, but they don't end up on the plate, as they are part of their second activity: the ecological gîte! Outside the holidays, they can welcome you by room during the week. You will be able to take advantage of the salt swimming pool, the bubbling bath and the sauna!

This orchard has the particularity to shelter 30 species of apple trees, but also some pear trees (Curé, Catillac), plum trees, cherry trees as well as a quince tree and a vine peach tree. It is the association of the "Croqueurs de pommes" of the Jura-Petite Montagne which runs it. Its aim?

Horticulture and nursery of ornamental trees, fruit trees and especially apple trees "belle fille de Salins", the Serres de Chazeau make us want to get out our gardening gloves! Here, plants and seedlings are pampered with eco-responsible methods: organic soil, zero phyto, rainwater recovery, heating of the greenhouses with wood, without forgetting the help of Amazone the mare. It is with pleasure that we bring back trees, vegetables, herbs, flowers and even Christmas trees. Possibility to stay on the spot thanks to the gîte which can welcome 5 persons.

Antoine and Dominique Brelot are mixed livestock farmers on the Finage plain. However, they don't sell directly from their farm. You can try their green lentils and chickpeas in many restaurants in the region, or buy them in supermarkets and delicatessens such as Les Fruitières, in Comté. Don't hesitate to try them. They're delicious!
