Les Fermes Larrère

What Les Fermes Larrère does

Les Fermes Larrère is a privately held collective of 12 independent family farms headquartered in Liposthey, Landes de Gascogne, France, founded in 1981. Operating across nearly 2,000 hectares of cultivated land within a Natura 2000 protected zone, the group produces, packages, and distributes approximately 60,000 tonnes of vegetables annually, with carrots as the flagship crop. Its product portfolio includes organic leeks, turnips, cabbage, Bimi® broccoli, asparagus, organic ginger, sweet potatoes, cereals, grass-fed beef, and green energy generated through on-farm biomethanization and solar power.

The company's core production technology is a unified threefold cultivation approach that combines organic farming (Bio), Zero Pesticide Residue (ZRP), and High Environmental Value (HVE) practices on the same farmland, with the three methods mutually enriching one another. More than 50% of cultivated surfaces are dedicated to organic agriculture. The business model is B2B: Les Fermes Larrère handles in-house packaging and commercialization, selling directly to supermarket and grocery retail chains as well as to wholesale distributors and food-service operators across a regional (French) scope. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The operation is 100% family-owned and independent, with no external investors or parent companies identified, and is supported by financial partnerships with ADEME, Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and Bpifrance.
