Local distribution network of Wesserling

Since 2000, the Association des Jardins de Wesserling has set up an aesthetic vegetable garden, in order to highlight the Wesserling Park, while being environmentally friendly and heeding the local history of the site. As a back-to-work program, the association also has the mission of providing a “stepping stone” job for currently 19 people, in the fields of gardening, market gardening and snacks.The vegetable gardens have expanded since February 1, 2021, with a vegetable plot extension across the road in permaculture and has obtained the organic label. The plot that is part of the Festival des Jardins Métissés (Mixed Gardens Festival) is awaiting organic labeling. The «Valeurs Parc» brand is also in the process of being obtained, which attests to the commitment to local roots, the human and social dimension and the preservation of heritage.

The Wesserling vegetable gardens are packed with a selection of diverse vegetables, berries and herbs. Apart from their decorative side in the vegetable garden, they are destined to end up on the plate! When we ask the producers what the short circuit represents for them, the answer is clear and precise: “from field to plate!”.

You can find all fresh and derived products at the shed «Cabanon des Jardins de Wesserling» (within the grounds of the Park), in the shops of the Wesserling Park, at the Saveurs et Couleurs store, at the CabriOlait goat farm, as well as at the local restaurants.

The Wesserling Gardens sales shed (cabanon) is open (fall hours) Monday and Wednesday all day (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.), as well as Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons (1 p.m. to 5 p.m.) and on the weekends(10 a.m.-6 p.m.).

Since 2012, the Alsatian Cabrio brewery has brewed craft beers, unfiltered and unpasteurized. Located in the former Royal Textile Manufactory in Wesserling, the brewery offers 7 permanent beers for sale as well as 3 short-lived beers per year, for every taste.

For its manager, the notion of local distribution network is vibrant since he buys quality raw materials from local suppliers. It is also important to him to offer his products directly to the brewery, for offering a better shopping experience and for being close to his customers.

Except for the brewery, Cabrio beers are sold in supermarkets in Haut-Rhin, and can be enjoyed in your favorite bars, restaurants and inns.

Farm products Store since June 2005, Saveurs et Couleurs de la Montagne brings together a dozen farmers from the Valley. In addition to their main activity as farm producers, they are involved in the sale of their processed products at the store, located in the Wesserling Park.

The purchase of farm and local products is increasingly in demand but not always easy to access. Saveurs et Couleurs addresses this problem by offering the inhabitants of the Valley all the everyday essentials in one place!

Farmers have also chosen proximity to their customers, in order to create a link and best meet their expectations. Farms also help maintaining the countryside and mountains landscapes.

You can find on the stalls a wide range of local and seasonal products, including: dairy products, meat and fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, wines and beers, salty and sweet groceries, as well as care products and cosmetics. Most are labeled Organic Agriculture.
