Les Jardins de Cocagne du Nord Drôme

What Les Jardins de Cocagne du Nord Drôme does

Les Jardins de Cocagne du Nord Drôme is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 2003 in Andancette, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, operating as a social integration farm (chantier d'insertion) and part of the national Cocagne network of associative market gardens. The organization cultivates organic seasonal vegetables on a 4-hectare farm and supports approximately 30 workers per year through employment contracts in agriculture and environmental services, targeting people distant from the job market. Its primary commercial activity is a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscription model offering weekly vegetable baskets in three sizes (Petit 9€, Grand 14€, Maxi 20€), supplemented by fruit baskets (Petit 6.5€, Grand 11.5€) and an egg add-on (3.5€), all paid via monthly SEPA direct debit.

The association's technology stack is built on the Cocagnebio digital platform provided by its parent cooperative SCIC Jardin d'Octets, which handles online subscription management, customer accounts, and order processing. The website is hosted on OVH servers physically located in France with SSL/TLS encryption, daily database backups, and secure online payment processing through banking partners; Dynapse handles technical development. Distribution relies on a network of 16 pickup points across the Nord Drôme and Ardèche regions, spanning the farm itself, partner retail outlets (Biocoop, SoBio, butcheries), public libraries, and private residences, with distribution on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from individual subscriber families (segmented by household size into 1–3, 3–5, and 5–6 person tiers) through recurring weekly subscriptions. The model targets local consumers prioritizing organic produce, short distribution circuits, and social impact. Beyond basket subscriptions, the association generates ancillary revenue from environmental services for municipalities and private clients. The association is led by Améline Salin as Directrice de la publication and legal representative. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or investor capital have been disclosed; operations appear self-sustaining through subscription revenues and likely public subsidies tied to the social-integration mission.
