Farmers’ markets and local products: This summer, enjoy Le Beau Jardin through short-chain distribution

2. 2. A land of flavours in the heart of Alsace

At Le Beau Jardin, fine dining begins long before the food reaches your plate. It has its roots in the fields, orchards, vegetable gardens and farms that shape the landscape of the Kochersberg and the Pays de la Zorn. Here, the seasons naturally dictate what’s in season: sun-kissed fruit, crisp vegetables, cereals, poultry, dairy products, honey and farmhouse specialities make up a generous and authentic range. 

Buying locally also means getting to know the men and women who grow, rear, process and sell their produce with care. This summer, farmers’ markets and farm shops offer plenty of opportunities to discover a region that is a true gourmet destination – vibrant and deeply committed to quality.
