Agricultural operation focused on the production of asparagus for 25 years, vegetables grown in sustainable agriculture, part of which is sold directly on the farm.

Marie and Christophe who share with us the passion for their profession

What are the prerequisites for growing asparagus?
It is imperative to have sandy and well-irrigated soil... and that's what we have, that's why we had the idea of ​​asparagus. 25 years ago, we started with one hectare, today the asparagus extends over 12 ha! At the same time we grow vines and have table grapes in the fall. Asparagus is a very seasonal crop, the harvest only lasts 3 months, but it is intense. It really is the expected and much appreciated spring vegetable!

Why did you choose direct sales and producer stores?
It’s a great way to really promote our product. In supermarkets – and we have been through them – everything must be standardized to the nearest centimeter, while producer stores emphasize quality and taste before aesthetic aspects. There is more authenticity and everyone can relate!
