Augier

Since 1929, Augier has been crafting honey with authentic flavors from Vaison La Romaine, Provence.

Our family-run business was founded in 1929 by Louis Augier. He started harvesting nature's most precious golden nectar produced by industrious bees, and as the first beekeeper in the Augier family, his talent was rewarded in 1935 with a 1st Prize at Paris for his renowned extra fine Lavender honey.

Since then, the Augier family has continued doing what it knows how to do best: supplying the finest French honey from Provence, taking advantage of the best quality blooms of lavender, rosemary and other typical varieties from the guarrigue, growing under the warm Mediterrean sun.

Louis's son André then expanded the apiary to a thousand bee hives and endeavored to make his father's enterprise more fruitful. In the seventies, it was Bernard's turn to develop the bees-ness making the family's honey widely available across the South-East of France. Today, "master honey maker" Pierrick, Bernard's own son, is responsible for honey production and makes every effort to ensure that each and every spoonful of our honey jars will give your taste buds a treat and tickle your palate with its unique taste.

In 2015, Philippe Roche joined the team to share his own passion for authentic, locally-sourced honey with the family so that Augier & Fils could benefit from his expertise and continue to grow. After building a career in the food-processing industry for many years, he received support from two organisation ("Initiative Ventoux" & "Entreprendre Rhône Durance") to help him with his initiative.

Authenticity and Transparency

Our honey has always been synonymous with high-range quality:

  • our products are always meticulously selected
  • We have been working with most of our partners for over 10 years (even more than 30 years for some of them!)
  • A number of our honeys have received quality labels (such as Label Rouge) and certifications (Ecocert for our organic range).

We are extremely attentive to sanitary procedures so as to preserve our honey's qualities :

  • our processing and packing house is controlled several times a year
  • our management tools enable us to ensure thorough traceability of our products

We strive to provide our customers with locally sourced honey and hive-based products from small apiaries whenever possible, which is why:

  • our labels always explicitly state where the honey comes from
  • most of our honeys are French, and sourced in Provence in particular : you will find them under our brand "Les Ruchers du Mont Ventoux". Our honey range is supplemented by "Le Rucher des Abeilles Bleues" which corresponds to specific types of honey that cannot be produced on a larger scale in France, such as Thyme, Orange blossom or Lemon tree. "L'Abeille Gourmande" jars encapsulate certified organic honeys from France, Spain & Italy.
