While the kale is not bio and from Prince de Bretagne (who I do not work with), it is still kale available to you.
In even better news, Monsieur Essayan, the lovely farmer near Lyon is trying another crop of bio kale. While his first crop last year had a major pest invasion, he is not giving up! I feel very fortunate to have him on board as one of the amazing TKP farmers. ***
And I feel fortunate that kale-lover Stephen alerted me that Auchan in Saint Genis Laval is now carrying kale as well. It’s been popping up at Auchans over the country recently (labeled as choux kale) and it seems this one has joined the bunch (no pun intended). Stephen used to live in Caen and has been a devoted follower of the Project since the beginning. While living there kale was nowhere to be found but at his local roundabout and now in Lyon he has better news.
I only hope we can get more locally-grown, bio options to everyone soon.

***As a friendly reminder, I have ZERO control over the price of kale. If you have an issue w/ the price of kale in Paris, please speak directly to the producer. Merci!

I just wanted to let you know I have found Bio kale at the Biocoop on rue du Plat in the center of Lyon. It is produced by Bio Breizh in Saint Pol de Leon. Biocoop has had it for several weeks now, and based on the enthusiastic reception by the Americans and Canadians in the neighborhood, they plan to continue carrying it. I have passed on kale recipes as well as kale chip samples to the store staff so they can spread the word about what great things you can do with this vegetable. Now we don’t have to be jealous of you in Paris!!!!

Hi Joyce! This is great news. Thank you for sharing! Also good news is that Gerard, the local farmer in Lyon, is still determined to grow kale – so hopefully there will be more local options soon. Enjoy!

Great! Great! Great!
Enfin à Lyon!
Mille mercis pour ces adresses, j’y cours dés demain!
Je viens juste d’écrire un article dans mon site sur le chou et je désespérais d’en trouver sur Lyon! Je m’étais dis qu’en écrivant sur ses vertus ça le ferait venir… et voilà!
Génial pour mes smoothies du petit déjeuner!
