Today

Producers of medicinal plants Isabelle and Jacques from the Asinerie du Cul du Bois continue their activities.

Their products are available at House of craftsmen in Lescheraines (73340), a place that brings together around twenty producers from all over the Bauges massif.

The massif has experienced in 5 years a very significant expansion of local sectors, with the opening of the organic and local associative grocery store Croc'Bauges, where you can also find the products of Isabelle and Jacques, and which brings together nearly fifty local producers, most of them in organic farming. The Croc'Bauges store comes from the Bio Bauges association which was intended to supply certain families with organic bulk. The store was founded by the association in 2016, shortly after the filming of the film. It now employs 8 people and the association that manages the store has become a CIC (Cooperative of Collective Interest).

You can find Isabelle and Jacques, the Croc'Bauges and Bio Bauges team, and many more in the series of reports The life of the tops. Video capsules of 2-3 minutes on local and citizen initiatives in the Pays de Savoie, broadcast in the first part of cinema screenings and visible on the internet, which were cdesigned by Bérangere Hauet (Hélio films) and Mathilde Syre (Achromat), two documentary filmmakers who work in Savoie and Haute Savoie. The objectives of The life of the tops : forge links between the actors of the territory, make people want to act and get involved in local life.
