Foie gras producers New Aquitaine

A mixed farming operation with two very different focuses. The farm raises free-range, antibiotic-free fattened ducks for foie gras and confits, and beautifully shorn sheep for mohair wool. Sales are direct from the farm, by order and by appointment, of whole, live ducks, or cut up fresh, vacuum-packed or canned. You can also find the farm's products at the Lamigeon canning factory in Bazas.

Le Canard Joli is a long history of family tradition passed down through the generations. Quentin is the repository of his grandparents' recipes and the dexterity of the other grandfather. Here, he is in contact with the ducks and geese from his farm, to the sale on the markets. That's why the shop is often closed in the morning, he is often in Périgueux, Trélissac or Saint Yrieix. He enhances our gustatory desires from foie gras, and his figs filled with duck foie gras are snatched up like little candies.

Marie-Laure and Bruno Bachelier settled in 1984 in Chavenat. To the cereal production of the farm they quickly added the breeding of fat ducks. The ducks, from the Périgord region, are force-fed with grain corn produced on the farm, which guarantees quality products without GMOs or preservatives. They transform the ducks in their laboratory, adding a personal touch that gives their originality to the dishes concocted here. Online or in their shops, you can stock up on supplies.

The Prélide farm has been run by the same family for six generations! And it is now 15 years that we raise ducks in the open air! Poultry and lamb have joined the ducks, and are also fed with cereals grown on the property. You will find here the classic foie gras preserves, but also poultry and capons for the holidays. At the Prélide farm, we prepare dishes for your receptions for up to 500 people! There are producer's stores in La Rochelle, Surgère and Ile de Ré.

The Bastebieille farm regularly wins numerous medals at the Concours Général Agricole, including a gold medal in the "Whole Duck Foie Gras in Preserves" category in 2020. Conservative producers for five generations, the Lesgourgues family raises ducks for foie gras (traditional force-feeding with grain corn) and also produces all the cereals for their feed. Cooked or semi-cooked foie gras, magrets, confits, pâtés, rillettes... recipes and advice can be found on the website. You'll be warmly welcomed on site.

Since 1975, the family business has grown, but kept its authenticity. Jacqueline Mitteault's recipes are still produced on site. Here, the third generation applies the know-how acquired in the production of French foie gras, with total mastery of the production chain. Magrets, confits, pâtés and other cooked dishes are prepared with care, quality and seriousness. All these dishes are available at the farm or on the website. Look out for the open house in autumn for a convivial moment.

Pierre-Antoine Lacabanne invites you to visit his walnut groves and his traditional corn-fed duck and goose farm. The products are prepared and cooked on site. In the shop you can find foie gras, confits, duck breast, galantines, pâtés, stuffed necks, walnut oil, walnuts, asparagus, truffles and ceps. All year round the farm sells fresh products: goose and duck, but also farm poultry, chickens, guinea fowl, ducks, capons, turkeys... They are present on the gourmet markets.

They are the only producers of foie gras in the department! Françoise and Philippe Champeval work as they do in the South-West, continuing a family adventure started in 1934. In the Truyère area, they make terrines and preserves of whole semi-cooked foie gras, duck and goose, with or without truffles. But their activity does not stop there, as Champeval also cooks game. They offer rillettes, pâtés and other cooked dishes. A tasty range to discover on the spot and on the web.
