La Benarderie is gearing up for the next edition of its potato fair. For 5 days, from Wednesday to Sunday, La Benarderie celebrates one of the most essential ingredients in French kitchens: the potato. Located in Hourtin, the family farm offers a wide selection of varieties suited for all kinds of dishes, with prices advertised as exceptional.

A Farmer's Living Place with Commitment
La Benarderie has been run by Astrid and Jean-François for 30 years, farmers based in the Médoc region. Originally focused on cereal farming, the farm diversified in 2010 to include a wider range of products like asparagus and apple picking. The arrival of their son Romain in 2015 marked a new chapter, with the development of a farm shop open all year round and self-picking activities.
Beyond agricultural production, the farm is also developing tourist activities: giant maize maze, educational trails, treasure hunts, and orienteering courses. For 2026, two exciting new additions are announced: a mini-golf and a pedal go-kart track, accessible for ages 5 to 99.
