How to search on the map
Here is a small video I made to show you how to search. I’m still optimizing the data, but it’s a start.
More information
Most of these websites are in French or German. You can use the Google translate feature to help you navigate or just call them up for more information.
Also, most of these producers show up at your local farmer’s markets. So you can also ask about subscriptions or try before you buy.
I subscribed to Terre Vaudoise when I first moved to Lausanne. They were just getting started then. I think they have much improved and are considered a benchmark for success. Surprisingly quite a few of my neighbours in Bossonnens use Label Bleu. I’ve also heard good things about Lumière des Champs.
Let me know which one you subscribe to and why in the comments.
