LES JARDINS D'HESPÉRANCE

Along the road from La Roche-Posay to Châtellerault, the Les Jardins d'Hespérance organic market garden farm is one of the largest in the department. Claude Plault heads the farm. Since 2008, he has been cultivating 4.5 hectares of land to produce tomatoes (including heirloom varieties), squash, zucchinis, eggplants, leeks, lettuces, carrots, radishes... Depending on the season, vegetables are sold directly from the farm or at markets: Tuesday and Friday in La Roche-Posay, Sunday morning in Poitiers aux Couronneries, Saturday morning in Chauvigny.
