Maison Marc has been making cornichons in Bourgone since the 1950s. The farm was first started by Marc Jeannequin, producing cornichons for a local canning factory. Passed down to his son Florent in 1975, the farm started increasing production selling mainly to a large French industrial group. By the mid 2000s most industrial groups had moved their production abroad. Most French cornichons producers disappeared but Florent fought to keep this local tradition alive, selling his 'fresh' cornichons to middle men. In 2012 the third generation owner Henri Jeannequin inherited the farm and decided it was time to cut out the middlemen and instead take care of the production from start to finish. All cornichons are handpicked, pickled, and packaged at the farm which is located in Chemilly-sur-Yonne in Bourgone.
