Ferme des Trois Chênes

Three generations of vegetable growers in the Monts du Lyonnais. We pick in the morning and the crates are at the hall by seven: tomatoes, apples, strawberries and walnuts, always in season.

Hugo’s grandfather planted the first orchard in 1948, his father added the vegetable fields, and Hugo has put the farm on a rotation of seven crops so the soil gets a rest. Nothing is heated, nothing is flown in, and the walnuts come from the trees along the road.

On the stall you will find what is ripe this week and nothing else: gariguette strawberries in May, heirloom tomatoes from July, apples from September, walnuts in autumn. Ask Hugo how to ripen a tomato on a windowsill, he will tell you.
