EARL des Bons Bois
On their farm, Marie and Christophe have been interested in atypical productions in the department for 25 years. They cultivate white asparagus, green asparagus and several varieties of table grapes using sustainable agriculture.
Marie and Christophe who share their passion for their profession with us:
“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 showcase our product. In supermarkets – and we’ve been through them – everything has to be standardized down to the centimeter, whereas producer stores emphasize quality and taste before aesthetics. There’s more authenticity and everyone benefits!”
