Market gardeners Champagne-Ardenne

The asparagus season is short, so as soon as they point their nose in the spring sun, they will run quickly at Daniel Hamy. You will find various varieties at home and without any doubt your favorite. Asparagus is picked daily in the field dew. Their success is such that stall are quickly robbed. If you're brave it's time to think in the winter and make some jars that you'll be happy to find winter and whose flavor has nothing to do with canned trade. Parole's word!

François Jadot grows organic vegetables. Sales are made on site, but it is advisable to make an appointment. This market gardener is also present at various markets in the region. You will find the flavour of seasonal products, grown in your region, and you will also help a producer to sell his production close to his home. Picked as and when needed, these vegetables keep all their vitamins and thus all their flavour.

In season only come visit Patrick Surply. It produces delicious Champagne strawberries whose delicate flavour will delight your taste buds. The sale takes place directly on the farm. It's perhaps the occasion to make your friends enjoy delicious jams. What's more pleasant than eating and offering a homemade product, or adding to breakfast sweets, waffles and snack pancakes, but also yogurt scent and white cheeses.

You can't go to rue Henri Philippot without noticing the pimpante window of "Mandarin and Chocolate". On June 1, 2011, when Lucile Grasser reopened the village's grocery store, closed for several months, the entire village applauded. It must be said that, after a serious renovation, the places are very pleasant and we find in this trade in proximity more than the necessary: groceries, maintenance products, fruits and vegetables, eggs and cheeses, meat and poultry poultry on order, frozen, gift items. The grocery store is one more for elderly or sedentary people, who find here to fill in refrigerators and cupboards without having to travel. They can also count on Lucile Grasser who, where necessary, books at home.

With Clos Simon, eating 5 fruits and vegetables a day is child's play! Laurent Simon is passionate about his profession as a primeur and it shows. In 2014, he launched his shop to share his taste for authentic and quality products, a beautiful setting to honour small local producers and introduce his customers to flavours from other more exotic regions. On the shelves are finely selected fruits and vegetables from environmentally friendly producers but also cut vegetables, fresh fruit juices, soups, soups, purées, compotes and crumbles specially prepared by a team that does not lack fishing!

L'Artichaut is the only market gardener in the very heart of the City of the Sacres to produce the best gustatory treasures for the city's starred tables. At its head, Patrice Richard, best worker in France, shares with his customers the taste of quality fruits and vegetables. On his colorful stalls, one can find beautiful seasonal products grown in the open ground, old tomato varieties, strawberries straight from the fields, wild mushrooms... In addition to a well-stocked basket, you will leave with good advice and new recipe ideas. It's an engaging experience!

Lionel Thiry is the worthy heir of his grandfather Henry who settled in 1956 in Guincourt in the heart of the pre-Arden ridges. With Florence, his wife, they mother their "babies", who are called Melrose, Boskoop, Jonagold, Elstar, Reinette du Canada, Golden, Chanteclair. In addition, there are two varieties of pears (Williams and Conference), as well as cherries, mirabelle plums, Queen Plums, plums and strawberries grown above ground in greenhouses. The mirabelle plum sparkling wine is a pure delight and the apple juice made with three varieties is a must-taste!

At Champfleury, freshness and quality go hand in hand with the Fruitier! On the colourful stalls, you'll find strawberries, raspberries and melons picked in the morning during the season, fruit and vegetables grown by local market gardeners and the more exotic ones coming directly from Rungis. The team is there to inform you about the specificities of each variety and to advise you on the best recipes to use them. As for the butcher's shop, Le Fruitier focuses on the traditional with farm poultry from Jonchery-sur-Suippe, pork and lamb from the neighbouring department and Limousin meat, not forgetting fresh fish and shellfish all year round.

Rémy Cozé offers you vegetables produced on his farm. Come and fill up on potatoes, onions, leeks and various dried vegetables. He is waiting for you at the farm, but it is advisable to make an appointment because the activities of this farmer are more in the open air than behind the counter selling his vegetables. You will thus stock up on seasonal vegetables, produced in your region and contribute to the development of the activity of one of his local producers. And what's more, you'll leave with lots of good advice!

Alain Belloy markets apple juice, raw cider and soft cider, pear juice, produced from fruit produced in this corner of the Ardennes for its orchards. You will also find in this producer fruit from Tourteronnais: apples, pears, mirabelles and quetsches. So if during your walks you pass through this village, a stop at Alain Belloy is necessary. It will make you taste its specialities and you will leave with some bottles of delicious drinks and fruit baskets, springs of vitamins.

Jean-Michel Thiry is one of the few families who continue to grow and sell fruit in the magic square of the villages of Tourteron, Guincourt, Suzanne and Saint-Loup-Terrier. The local production is dominated by the cultivation of apples, but for some years now, the arboriculturists have diversified their production, giving pride of place to pears, mirabelle plums, queen plums, quetsches, cherries, strawberries and raspberries. Make a stop at Jean-Michel Thiry's!
