Maison Delpeyrat is a company specialized in the elaboration of gourmet products made from fat duck (foie gras, magret, aiguillettes, duck confit, cooked dishes, pâtés), as well as smoked salmon or trout.
The brand selects the most demanding chains in terms of quality and environmental impact, and helps maintain employment in our territories.
Maison Delpeyrat relies on its fat duck chains in the South-West of France or in Vendée, with a complete control of the chain: from the birth of ducklings, to their feed produced in its own sites, from outdoor breeding to fattening.
For its fish, the House Delpeyrat selects fish farmers partners (firstly in France), on the basis of strict specifications, including breeding and feeding conditions.
The products of the Maison Delpeyrat are distributed in small, medium and large supermarkets throughout France.
Men and women of the Maison Delpeyrat gathered in cooperative, share their taste for good things and their know-how.
Jean-Saturnin Sarrade founded in Eauze in the Gers the Sarrade Maison de Confiance, true foie gras of Armagnac and luxury canned food, with its inimitable motto: “Qui m’gusto m’aïmo” (who tastes me , loves me).

The development of the family business continued under the aegis of Roger Sarrade, Jean-Eucher’s son, until 1997, when Sarrade joined the Maïsadour Cooperative Group, in the heart of the Landes and closest to duck breeders, to acquire new skills and ensure the mastery of its systems.

With Comtesse du Barry, shake your palate!
It all begun in 1999, when small farmer producers gathered together to sell and promote their traditional production, which already had the same quality as the Red Label. It was coming from small farmers where the number of duck was voluntary limited. The ducks were mainly fattened by hand and with whole-grain corn from the South-West of France.
This traditional method of breeding made it possible to develop a whole range of products of recognized high quality, several times rewarded by the achievement of medals at the General Agricultural Competition.
Since this time, the number of producers gathered behind the brand Terres Paysannes has increased a lot. Proud of their region, they raise French duck and perpetuate the tradition by offering several ranges of quality product, mainly coming from Red Label foie gras duck, but also from PGI foie gras duck from the Landes or the South-West of France.
To enhance the value of our duck production, we have chosen to come together to combine our means of production and processing. Owners of our farms, we came together almost 20 years ago as a producer group to promote a more human scale agriculture. Proud of our origins and gastronomic heritage, we want to take our destiny in hand and produce better, with respect for nature and human health.
Our ducks do not have any antibiotic treatment for the duration of their fattening.
Thanks to these convictions and to our daily commitment to a more responsible agriculture, we can offer you quality Terre Paysannes products.
