Welcome to the Épicerie de Ballens, located in the heart of our charming village, at the foot of the Vaud Jura, passionately run by Carla Rego and her team.

🤝 Close to our customers, we believe in the values of service, attentiveness and friendliness. At the Épicerie de Ballens, you’re not just a customer: you’re a neighbour, a regular, a familiar face to whom we love to offer a pleasant moment, a personalized tip, or simply a smile.

🌿 Our vision is clear: to promote local products, actively support local producers, and build an authentic and lasting relationship with our customers every day. With us, you’ll find products that tell a story: that of a craftsman, a farmer, or the generous, rich land of Vaud.

🏷️ A balanced offering: we are committed to providing a selection of quality products, combining the best of local goods with items from mainstream distribution. A large part of our stock comes from regional producers, selected for their freshness, traceability and seasonal respect. At the same time, we offer well-known brands accessible to every household, to meet daily needs.

Our featured products:

🥩 High-quality local meats
Meat sourced from regional producers, chosen for its freshness, quality and guaranteed origin. (Beef, horse, lamb, chicken, pork, veal, sausages, barbecue meats, skewers, charcuterie, dry sausages, etc.)

🍞 Artisanal bread and pastries
Every morning, we receive fresh bread and sandwiches from L’Artisan Gourmand in Yens, known for their craftsmanship and quality bakery goods.
