Peasant bakers, producer/processor of red berries, apple juice, open-field market gardening, farm pig producer.

On their family's organic farm, bakers Marc and Geneviève grow soft wheat and small spelt. They also grow vegetables and fruit trees. They also raise 3 pigs a year, which are processed and served in their farmhouse inn. Twice a week, they offer a range of half-complete breads made with natural sourdough, kneaded by hand and baked in a Roman wood-fired oven. All cereals are stone-ground on the farm. You'll also appreciate their jams and red fruit coulis, not to mention the inimitable taste of their old-fashioned apple juice. You can discover their products all year round at the farm, on Saturdays. Snacks are also available. Weekdays by appointment only. Other points of sale: On sale at the Rodome grocery store and in several organic stores in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude (Arcadie, Floréal, Terre-mère). Find them at the Roquefeuil local producers' market, from 6pm to 9pm, every Friday in July and August, in a festive atmosphere. Snacks available on this occasion and by appointment the rest of the week.

Host portrait
In the soft morning light, they're already on their feet. Two peasant bakers, bound by the earth as much as by the fire of the oven. Their hands carry the memory of the seasons: sowing, harvesting, kneading. Here, nothing comes from elsewhere.

They work slowly, with precision. The flour is ground on site. In the silence, punctuated by confident gestures, the dough takes shape. It breathes, swells, transforms.
The oven crackles like an ancient heart. Fueled by wood from nearby hedges, it radiates an enveloping warmth. When they put the loaves in, a whole cycle is completed: from seed to food.
They don't just produce bread: they forge a direct link between the earth and those who feed on it. And in each loaf, there's a little of their patience, their exacting standards, and their deep attachment to what's true.
