Just above Saint-Céré, on the road to Saint-Laurent-les-Tours, you’ll find a patchwork of meadows, woodland and stony terraces. This is where three generations of the Boris family have farmed with biodynamic methods, producing truffles, heirloom fruit, walnuts and vegetables in harmony with nature.
In summer, they share their world with visitors at their farm: La Ferme des Sentiers du Diamant Noir or the “Black Diamond Trails Farm.” The name says it all: here, the Périgord black truffle is king.
The evening begins
The evening starts in the farm courtyard, where Raymond and his son Patrick welcome you like old friends. The adventure kicks off with a small exhibition about mushrooms and truffles from prehistory to the present day and the traditional peasant life of the Saint-Céré region.
Then comes a generous farm aperitif: toast spread with truffle butter, fresh garden tomatoes, ratafia and homemade juices. Simple, hearty and just right to set the tone.
