The flavours and benefits of plants AND FRUITS
Benefiting from the mild climate of the Chassezac valley, we are gradually re-cultivating the former agricultural terraces surrounding our building. We cultivate these areas in harmony with the characteristics of the site, using local renewable resources and promoting diversity.
Mint, lemon balm, monarda, camomile, lavender, verbena, blackcurrant, oregano, rosemary, thyme, savory, sage, tarragon... so many flavours to awaken your senses! We also take advantage of the generosity of the surrounding countryside to gather other aromatic and medicinal plants in a way that respects ecosystems.
We use these plants to make herbal teas, aromatic blends and syrups. We also grow berries and fruits at Chambonas. Harvests are sold fresh, dried and made into jams. All our production is certified organic.
You can find our products directly on-site, at Aux Fermes des Rayols farmers' shop and Feijoa tearoom/grocery store in Les Vans, as well as at the Maison du Gerboul in Thines, La Hutte des Glaces in Naves, MyBioShop Ruoms, and the Chambonas small market every Thursday evening from April to September.
