Yakan the Counter
Yakan le Comptoir - Our Bistro Boutique in Drôme Provençale
Eco-responsible and fair trade crafts - Regional flavors to enjoy on site or to take away
With the aim of making our creations known to a wider audience, Yvonne and Patrick Hereng opened this boutique for Opportunity for Women in June 2023.
In the heart of the pretty village of Buis les Baronnies in Drôme Provençale, you can discover our collections and learn more about our actions and our impact.
All this while tasting Tapas des Baronnies – locally produced organic specialties – and quenching your thirst with craft beers, local kombuchas or sodas and of course organic and natural wines from the region.
The concept:
We are committed to supporting the women of Southeast Asia by showcasing their handcrafted creations. All profits from sales are donated to the association that supports them.
To ensure the sustainability of our project, we fund the store's operating costs with revenue from our wine cellar and bistro space. This allows us to maintain a sustainable business while supporting this cause.
In addition, we volunteer to run the shop and bistro, with the invaluable help of our families and friends. This collective support is essential to bringing this project to life and maximizing its impact.
