Frédéric sells a variety of products made from food grown on his organic farm: for example, chestnut spread and chestnut flour; compotes, jellies and jams made from red berries; vegetable sauces and concentrated juices; plant-based pestos and syrups.
Frédéric is a farmer who keeps the old agricultural terraces ("échamps") on the heights of the village of Chalencon alive. He works manually on small areas, and is keen to develop diversified and complementary productions.
His farm produce is promoted through a varied range of processed products (available in the country shop "La Ronde d'échamps" in Chalencon), and through the creative recipes offered at the country creperie "La Ronde des champs" (crêperie open in July and August in Chalencon, and which can also travel for public or private events from the end of April to the end of November).
Frédéric also offers on site :
- The country creperie "La Ronde des champs", where he offers creative cuisine based on products grown in his gardens (organic farming). In July and August, the crêperie is mainly located on the Place du Valla, in the heart of the medieval village of Chalencon. All year round, the creperie is available on request for public or private events (catering services, birthdays, family celebrations, etc. : contact Frédéric for tailor-made proposals !)
- Free discovery of the agricultural terraces: a discovery document to be collected beforehand from the shop or the creperie.
Discover the history of the place (the agricultural terraces called "echamps", the dry stone construction...), the fauna and flora, as well as the gardens and Frédéric's agricultural work (work based on agroforestry, permaculture and respect for biodiversity).
Bring good shoes as the discovery trail follows old, sometimes narrow and steep paths. The walk is on your own responsibility.
- Guided tour of the agricultural terraces: by reservation only.
For a general visit (total duration: 1h30): minimum group of 4 people. Price: €5 per person (from 8 years old).
For a specialised thematic visit "crops, water management, agroforestry" (duration adjustable according to expectations): group of minimum 4 and maximum 15 people. Price: variable according to the duration of the visit and the number of participants.
