Sunday Morning Market.

Sunshine bathed Daglan market this morning, highlighting the variety of stalls selling their local produce.

Today’s market showing a variety of stalls.

A new stall today is our favourite organic producer, Les Jardins De Picami which we featured in one of our past blogs, here is the link.

Les Jardins De Picami
Les Jardins De Picami Stall will be on Daglan market throughout May selling Bio vegetable plants.

The organic growers unfortunately lost quite a large percentage of their crops last February when the heavy rain falls caused the River Ceou to flood. The good news is that they are selling a variety of plants here at the market in Daglan and will be selling potatoes, tomatoes etc. when the crops are ready at their organic farm. Once you have tasted their produce you will certainly return again and again.

We had to buy a few plants,two tomato plants, a pepper plant and a basil plant.

Another of our favourite stalls is the one selling strawberries.

Les Jardins De Picami.

If you are staying in a gite near or in Daglan you must visit Les Jardins De Picami for excellent bio vegetables fresh from the farm. Situated just outside Daglan on the D60 road leading to St Pompon. Leave Daglan and you will see the farm a hundred metres or so on the left, so drive slowly or you will miss it. The farm is only open to the public to buy the vegetables on a Thursday 4.30 to 6.30pm.

Two Signs to look out for.
 

After turning left at the sign there is a steep slope down to the car park, drive slowly because they have free range chickens.
 

A delicious variety of tomatoes. The white tomatoes have a wonderful sweet, fruity taste.
 

All organically grown on the farm.
