Our story - A legacy rooted in the land and time

For over 30 years, rye cultivation has been an integral part of our daily life. Handed down from father to son, this agricultural expertise is the result of a deep-rooted family passion.

Located in Saône-et-Loire, our farm grows and harvests natural rye straw, renowned for its exceptional quality.

Today, 20 hectares are entirely dedicated to this crop, cultivated with respect for natural cycles and sustainable farming practices.

Originally used for traditional purposes—thatching, mulching, or horticultural cover—our rye straw has also established itself over the years as a premium material for straw marquetry. Carefully worked, manually sorted, and cut according to precise standards, it now attracts many cabinetmakers, artisans, and interior designers seeking a noble, sustainable, and aesthetic material.

A quality-driven approach

Our approach is based on simple values: respect for the land, local production, natural growing cycles, and zero chemical treatments. By growing our own rye and managing every step—from harvest to bundling—we ensure full traceability and consistent quality tailored to the needs of fine crafts.

This commitment, shaped over generations and seasons, enables us to offer authentic, sustainable, and local rye straw that combines agricultural tradition with artisanal creativity.

Natural rye straw, carefully sorted

For us, rye straw is not just an agricultural byproduct: it is a noble material, carefully cultivated, harvested at full maturity, and hand-sorted to ensure consistent quality.

Produced locally and using traditional methods, it meets the needs of both professionals and individuals looking for a raw, durable, and elegant material.
