Our Suppliers
The French Farm is proud to annouce that 3 of our supppliers will be joining you at this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show, L’Epicurien, Terre Exotique, and Groix et Nature.
L’Épicurien is renowned for their uniquely flavorful jams and spreads.
A family-run business nestled in the fruit region of Languedoc-Roussillon, led by master jam maker Bernard Le Gulvout, they remain purposefully dedicated to traditional savoir-fair. Without additives and preservatives, their original recipes are blended in authentic copper cauldrons in order to best maintain the natural flavors and colors of the always fresh, high-quality ingredients used.
Terre Exotique, civilisations and gastronomy.
Terre Exotique carefully selects the finest spices from around the world to imbue your kitchen and dining room with exotic flavors and delightful colors that are sure to brighten even the simplest dishes. All spices are carefully developed to reveal their fragrance and preserved in beautiful tins. The packaging is selected with as much care as the spices themselves for a result that is a feast, not just for the taste buds, but for all the senses. True to its name, the Terre Exotique brand includes a range of exotic spice mixes, salts and peppers from some of the farthest corners of the world.
Groix et Nature
The Groix et Nature Conserverie, created 20 years ago, is located on the island of Groix in southern Brittany. A true local culinary workshop, the cannery employs 19 people living year-round on the island. All their recipes are cooked in an artisanal way from raw materials mainly from small-scale fishing boats, working with local fishmongers. Without coloring or preservative, they enhance the authentic taste of each fish.
About The French Farm
The French Farm was founded in 1997 by Gisele Oriot. Born and raised in France, after settling down in Houston, she realized something was missing and that if she wanted the jams, mustards, oils, and cutlery that she so dearly missed, she was going to have to bring them to Houston herself. So, what started as a hobby turned into a business and The French Farm was born.
Our products are carefully crafted by small, family-owned businesses and are made using traditional recipes and techniques, which are handed down from one generation to the next. These products contain the highest quality ingredients and materials, have exquisite taste, and are packaged beautifully.
Our goal is to bring the taste and feel of Europe into your home for everyone to enjoy. Here, you can fill your kitchen and pantry with beautiful products from countries like France, Spain, Portugal,and Italy with brands like Edmond Fallot, L’Epicurien, Jean Dubost, Manufacture de Digoin, and many more. We hope our products liven your taste buds, and you feel that Europe’s finest are just a few clicks away.
