14th Organic and Local Fair

This event is part of the national campaign «Eat organic and local, it is the ideal» coordinated by the National Federation of Organic Agriculture.

At the heart of the fair, a market of local organic farmers and associations will honor the wealth of the department. This fair is a meeting place, with more than 50 exhibitors, a catering area with peasant and organic food, and many educational, fun and festive activities will be offered throughout the day, all in an atmosphere of conviviality and sharing!

Have you heard of THE WHITE MELON OF ANTIBES?
The White Melon of Antibes is a storage or winter melon. It keeps well right through to the depths of winter. It thrives particularly well in warm regions and stores well. Its fruits are short and oval-shaped, matt white in colour, and completely smooth when ripe. Its flesh is green, tending towards orange when very ripe. It is very sweet and juicy, with a fresh, fragrant flavour.
At present, this melon is no longer grown, or only on a very small scale, in the Antibes area. Reviving its production is a matter of preserving our heritage.
This is the challenge that Sophie CHEVILLARD, a young organic market gardener in Cagnes-sur-Mer, is taking on this year.
