La mauvaise herbe Nassogne

In the heart of Nassogne , La Mauvaise Herbe is much more than a grocery store. This cooperative of citizens and producers gives pride of place to seasonal fruits and vegetables from local organic farms . On the shelves, sourdough breads , cheeses , free-range eggs , Walloon beers and wines sit alongside bulk products , fair trade items , and specialties from Mediterranean cooperatives.

Here, food sovereignty is a daily reality. Producers have a fixed sales point in the village, and profit margins remain reasonable so everyone benefits. The profits support community projects focused on more sustainable and accessible food . Stepping inside is as much about shopping as it is about discussing recipes, promoting local produce, participating in a permaculture workshop , or sharing a coffee on the small terrace overlooking the village square.

Over time, the grocery store has become a meeting place . Locals, producers, and visitors mingle there, exchanging news and tips for cooking seasonal vegetables. The cooperative also offers help in the fields , themed gatherings , and training to further connect food, the land, and the people who cultivate it.
