Nid’Abeilles chose to set up in the former dairy of the charming village of Forel (Lavaux). The premises have been tastefully decorated and offer a friendly atmosphere. There is a varied assortment from more than a hundred suppliers. They are selected in concentric circles: first the village, then the region. They regularly deliver their fresh products: fruits and vegetables of the season, cheeses and yogurt, bakery products, meat and deli meats, home-made canned products, sweets, fruit juices, syrups, beers, etc. Vaudois wines are also well represented on the shelves. So it was only natural for Nid’Abeilles to join the Vaud Œnotourisme network of certified establishments. The shop also has weekly baskets on sale, available on subscription.
Nid’Abeilles is an initiative of the Vaudois Women Farmers Association. Incidentally, this is also where the store’s name derives from, “abeille” (bee) being the nickname of a Vaudois woman farmer. Nid’Abeilles has been a cooperative since 2017. Its membership shares are available to anyone.
