Ferme de La Corbière produces organic vegetables and bread as part of a sustainable development approach that combines the production of healthy, affordable food, job creation on a small farm and the preservation of natural resources.
La Corbière is the name of a farm in the south of Maine-et-Loire, in the Mauges region, where the land has been passed down from father to son for over 140 years.
La Corbière is also the name of an old building steeped in the values and history of the men who have lived there.
A small farm covering 28 hectares, the farm was for a long time a mixed farming operation, before specialising in market gardening and cereal growing in the post-war period. Today, it produces around forty varieties of vegetables a year, as well as cereals that are processed into flour and then bread on the farm.
The team now aims to further diversify production over the coming years, with small-scale livestock (chickens, pigs), tree crops, berries, medicinal plants and honey.
La Corbière is also the site of a sustainable development project. The La Corbière project was born out of a reflection on the social, environmental and energy problems posed by our current mode of development, and aims to respond to the three pillars of sustainable development: preservation of the environment and natural resources, social equity between peoples and generations, and economic viability.
The farm welcomes you to its weekly market every Wednesday from 4pm to 7.30pm: seasonal vegetables, fresh bread and a wide range of products from local producers (eggs, dairy products, fruit, meat, etc.). You can also order your bread on our website and collect it every evening between 5pm and 7pm.
