La Ferme du Bourgas: fresh fruit and vegetables

Nestled in a verdant setting, La Ferme du Bourgas offers a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables, most of them picked the same day (strawberries, cherries, apricots, melons, peaches, plums, pears, apples, tomatoes, zucchinis, eggplants, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, leeks...).

Why do we love it? For the variety and quality of the produce, perfect for a gourmet basket.

If you're passing through Roquemaure, La Chèvrerie d'Emilie and its 130 Alpine goats will welcome you in a warm, family atmosphere. You'll find fresh cheeses, tommes, faisselle and goat's milk cosmetics.

Why do we love it? For the quality of its products (the goat farm won the 2024 “Militant du Goût” competition for its goat tomme and creamy goat cheese).

Saint-Saturnin

Sauveterre

Le Clos Méjean: seasonal fruit and vegetables

At Clos Méjean, Hervé and his sister Florence (the fifth generation to run the farm) welcome you all year round to their varied range of seasonal fruit and vegetables (green asparagus, eggplants, zucchinis, radishes, lettuce all year round, Jerusalem artichokes, apricots, kiwis, melons, peaches, grapes...).

Velleron

La Bergerie Velleronnaise: goat's and sheep's milk products

At La Bergerie Velleronnaise, Andréa and her sister Clara offer you artisanal dairy products made from goat's and sheep's milk.

Why do we love it? For their commitment to animal welfare (year-round grazing in the fields around the sheepfold, no separation of mothers and offspring before weaning, etc.). The little extra: the farm is located on the Via Venaissia, which makes for responsible tourism thanks to the reserved parking spaces for bicycles.

La Ferme en'Vie: organic fruit and vegetables

Also in Velleron, La Ferme en'Vie offers organic fruit and vegetables grown with love.
