Core offering

Potagers & Compagnie is an agroecological engineering firm that operates its own organic farm (Ferme St Georges) and provides consulting, design, and training services for the creation of municipal, corporate, and peri-urban vegetable gardens. The company delivers Qualiopi-certified agroecological training and engineering studies for sustainable urban agriculture projects, while distributing its farm's organic produce through short supply chains.

Product overview

Potagers & Compagnie operates as a unified offering combining three interconnected services: (1) their own organic market garden farm producing fruits, vegetables, and eggs for direct sale; (2) a professional training division (Nos Formations) offering courses in agroecological practices such as living soil market gardening, agroforestry, beekeeping, irrigation, and fruit tree management, all certified Qualiopi since 2021; and (3) an engineering bureau (Bureau d'études) providing consulting for corporate vegetable gardens and municipal market farm projects, including feasibility studies, design, project management, and technical support. The products work together as the farm serves as a demonstration site for training while the bureau implements similar projects for external clients.
