White and green asparagus
The first fresh vegetable of the Spring, the asparagus of the Landes is a treasure of our region. It is harvested at the beginning of March, on a vast sandy plain.
Vegetable crops for our professional customers, fresh vegetables, new productions and organic productions: the Maïsadour Fruit and Vegetables chain supports producers in their ambitions and works to boost new and more virtuous agricultural ways.
Maïsadour develops integrated chains and ensures a sustainable market for its farmers’ production
The vegetable producers of the Maïsadour Cooperative gathered to create a Producer Organization. They are part of a collective approach for the production of quality vegetables, enabling them to meet the requirements not only of their professional customers or of the supermarket, but especially of the final consumer.
By offering the consumers tasty and responsible products, Maïsadour always works for greater transparency and quality. Our various products have some quality signs (Red Label, Organic farming, Protected Geographical Indication, Global G.A.P., SAI, IFS Food, BRC Food).
The fruits and vegetables chain is structured around 4 big families:
Green vegetables and sweet corn
Our territory offers a variety of natural conditions for the production of green vegetables such as beans, peas and sweet corn.
Red fruits (new production)
The consumption of red fruits is considerably increasing in France, creating new opportunities for our farmers.
Sweet potatoes (new production)
Launched in 2017 in the sands of Hautes Landes. The sweet potatoes production covers an area of 37 hectares, including 5 hectares in organic farming.

Ensuring the authenticity, the quality, the traceability and the taste of the products marketed by Maïsadour, from the upstream production to the consumption, is a priority. Maïsadour is committed to the respect of very strict standards in this area. All the stages of the product process are subject to rigorous controls and a full traceability. Maïsadour commitment is materialized by certifications, official signs of quality, recognized and demanding standards in terms of health safety.
