At the end of the field, Greengrocer in the 20th arrondissement, Paris, France
Au Bout du Champ is a greengrocer in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, selling fresh fruits, vegetables and a selection of other farm products. The shop works directly with nearby producers, so the range changes with the seasons and the shelves are restocked quickly.
The shop opened in 2013, founded by people who wanted to bring farm produce directly into the city without going through large distribution networks. Over time, a stable group of local producers was built up, giving the shop the range it has today.
At Au Bout du Champ, customers often chat with staff about how the produce is grown and where it comes from. This habit of conversation turns a simple shopping trip into a small but real connection between city life and farming.
The shop is easy to reach on foot or by public transport within the 20th arrondissement. Going early in the day gives the best choice, and bringing your own bag is encouraged since the shop promotes sustainable shopping habits.
Some of the produce arrives on the same day it is picked, which is rare for a city shop. Orders can also be placed in advance online, so regular customers often plan their week around what the shop will have in stock.
