Famille Vacher
Famille Vacher is a French honey brand from La Ferté-Saint-Aubin in Sologne.
Famille Vacher is a French honey brand from La Ferté-Saint-Aubin in Sologne. The Vacher family has kept bees for four generations: in the 1930s Aimé kept a few hives in Sologne, and in 1980 his son Jacques became a professional beekeeper. Les Apiculteurs Associés was set up in 1996, the first packing line started in 1999, and the business later added honey trading and packing to its own beekeeping. Today the brands belong to Vacher & Co (INÉ MIEL) in La Ferté-Saint-Aubin.
The range includes Famille Vacher (miels 100% français), Bee Miel (miels du monde), Beefruit, Les Apiculteurs Associés (miels en seau). The Famille Vacher brand covers only French honeys (miels 100% français), such as acacia, chestnut, Provence lavender and thyme, selected and packed in the Sologne workshop; honeys from other countries go under the Bee Miel brand.
Why this matters to you: One company sells purely French honeys and world honeys under different brands, so here the brand name on the jar points straight to the origin.
