About us
We are “Ferme des 3 Soleils”, a producer and direct seller of organic nuts and local produce.
We are the Tesson/Quéro family.
Based in Labretonie and Gontaud-de-Nogaret (47), we used to run a cereal and seed farm, as well as an agricultural works business.
In 2015, André was poisoned by plant protection products. This event was to trigger a radical change: after some thought, we decided to stop growing cereal crops and sell the big farm machinery to switch to organic production of healthy nuts, which are all too often produced abroad. André, the founder and driving force behind the project, then passed the torch to his two sons Anthony and Dimitri.

A new activity with several objectives
Create a controlled, high-quality local production chain.
Limiting the impact of farming on the environment, in particular by abandoning the use of plant protection products.
Helping to limit global warming by capturing large quantities of CO2 through the orchards: around 50,000 trees on 200 hectares represent a capture of around 200,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. The carbon footprint of our activity is therefore also offset by the action of the orchards.
Significantly reduce pollution linked to the transport of goods by opting for local production and short distribution channels
Contribute to better health thanks to the beneficial nutrients contained in nuts.
