Description
The Budé Farm and its team in a few words
Since 2009, the Budé Farm has brought together an agricultural operation, a shop/market open 5 days a week, and educational activities.
Right in the heart of the city of Geneva, in an 18th-century building nestled in a green park, the Budé Farm enjoys an excellent reputation thanks to the work of the team who strive every day to offer the best products.
The shop's stocking policy is to select the widest possible range of products, with high quality and ethical standards. In addition to vegetables grown in the garden, you will find fruits and vegetables from the region, cheeses from the Pays d’En-Haut, Geneva meat, fish from Lake Geneva, artisanal grocery products, etc. Priority is given to local and organic produce, which is the motto of the Budé Farm. About a thousand customers per week come to shop and can thus find organic and local products supplied by producers with whom we maintain privileged relationships.
The team currently includes about fifteen collaborators working in various sectors. Since 2018, the team has implemented company management based on participative governance principles.
