Farmer in Cottens, Julien Bugnon produces mustard, walnuts, hazelnuts as well as other products like lentils and chia seeds. As he was seeking for an activity in the winter, he decides in 2011 to start the Ecosapin concept in the canton of Vaud. Since then, he manages a team of 15 "sapinists" who prepare and deliver the Ecosapin in the cantons of Vaud, Valais and Geneva.
