The Estate The Domaine des Loveresses is located in Yens, where over 70 hectares of land are dedicated to growing fruits and vegetables. We have made endives and tomatoes our specialties. By practicing sustainable agriculture, we offer healthy and tasty products. Producing ecologically, respecting the seasons, is part of our heritage and the future of the Estate. Among our loyal customers are local grocery stores, restaurants, and other shops selling regional products. We also offer, at our on-site store in Yens, delicious fruits and vegetables, as well as regional products such as meat, eggs, apple juice, etc. Our Story Since its creation in 1968 by Michel and Claire-Lise Cornu, the Domaine des Loveresses quickly specialized in market gardening. It was during this period that our first refrigerated halls and forcing rooms were built, primarily dedicated to the cultivation of endives. In the 1980s, with the constant development of the Estate, the first tunnel and greenhouse crops appeared, now housing our tomato, strawberry, and raspberry plants. Today, the second generation, led by Philippe Cornu and his family, heads the Domaine des Loveresses and strives to combine modernity, sustainable development, and the tradition of quality Vaudois products. Our Crops Spread across open fields, greenhouses, and growing rooms, our products are grown in Yens. For our endives, before transforming them into chicory in our growing rooms, they are cultivated as roots by 15 regional farmers from La Côte and Gros de Vaud. The rest of our production is grown in open fields and greenhouses. Our endives are produced in winter. Our Production We take great care to produce healthy and tasty fruits and vegetables. Our cultivation and production processes are constantly aimed at ecological improvement. For us, producing seasonal fruits and vegetables is inseparable from environmental considerations. That is why our crops are equipped with water recovery systems, and future projects are underway. We have diversified our production to include zucchini, squash, cabbage, turnips, and beets, available in both raw and cooked forms. We also grow strawberries, raspberries, and watermelons in spring and summer.

S'Chrättli Farm Specialties Rütiberger Wine and Homemade Delicacies Our vines flourish on the sunny southern slopes of the Geissberg, the Rütiberg, which gives our wine its name. From spring to autumn, the grapes ripen in this sheltered location, where a lot of care and hard work go into producing high-quality fruit. After the harvest, Jürg Wetzel in Ennetbaden carefully vinifies the grapes into premium, high-quality wines. The Blauburgunder wines from Rütiberg have gained a great reputation far and wide, and the selection from the oak barrel is a real gem in our range. Visit us in Rüfenach near Brugg, enjoy a glass of our wine, and discover the variety we have to offer. Summer Wine: Rütiberger Blanc de Noir Our rich Blanc de Noir is the perfect summer wine. With its Blauburgunder notes and complex aromas, it is ideal as an aperitif or paired with light summer dishes. A true delight for wine lovers during the warm months. Wood-Fired Bread and Zopf In our traditional bakery with a large wood-fired oven, we bake over 15 different types of bread. The flour comes from our own grain, which is milled by the Mühlebach mill in Würenlingen. Our homemade breads include rustic spelt bread, our special Chrättlibrot, golden Zopf, as well as pretzel, wholegrain, and nut rolls. We also offer custom-made party breads to suit your needs.

Fresh Vegetables from the Farm In our farm store in Rüfenach, you will find fresh vegetables all year round, supplemented by regional products.

In the summer, we also harvest peas, beans, and sugar snap peas. Starting in July, juicy tomatoes and melons add to our selection, and in autumn, pumpkins mark the beginning of the famous lamb's lettuce harvest, which carries us through to spring.
