Who we are

About the farm

We have been farming since 2018 in Saint-Apollinaire-de-Rias, at 700 m altitude in central Ardèche, organically certified by Ecocert (some plots in conversion). We keep about 40 Warré hives and some 100 laying hens, grow aromatic herbs and soft fruit on 5,000 m² and tend about 3 hectares of chestnut trees, mainly the Comballe variety. Most of the harvest is processed into jams, nectars, pestos, herbal teas and chestnut cream, sold at the farm, online and at fairs; visits and workshops are by appointment, and we also offer accommodation.
