Fruit and vegetable producers Franche-Comté

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.

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.

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.

They're delicious!
