The Giscours Vegetable Garden

A stone’s throw from Suzanne Farm, the Giscours vegetable garden is a magical place, carefully maintained day after day by Ahmed. He works with Benjamin, our chef, to choose the varieties of fruit and vegetables to grow and put on the menu at La Table de Giscours.

Throughout the year, Benjamin Laurent offers tasty dishes using fresh, seasonal produce, the majority of which comes from Giscours. Heirloom tomatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, courgettes, verbena, as well as a wide range of fruit and edible flowers: all of these products will soon make their way to the chateau’s kitchens where they will be showcased by Benjamin.

Everything is gathered up to be used and transformed: from the château kitchen to the employee canteen, as well as animal feed. Developing short transport routes, ensuring local consumption, preserving resources, and limiting environmental impact are all approaches very close to the Albada Jelgersma’s heart and are golden rules at Giscours.

Giscours has always been a genuine working farm. Everything is designed to promote the complementarity of different cultures and agricultural activities.
