Presentation of Madeinpaysdauge
Shopping on the Internet
It's commonplace nowadays with an increasing number of consumers resorting to e-commerce; however, this was not to be said in 2001, when the original idea to set up the "Madeinpaysdauge.com" virtual market was but budding for Pays d'Auge Expansion.
Aims
To take advantage of the Pays d'Auge's strong agricultural identity in order to create new economic trends and to implement innovative marketing methods (export).
To create a showcase for Appellations d'Origine Contrôlée (A.O.C.) and typical Pays d'Auge country produce, through a limited distribution chain: direct from the producer to the consumer, with a little help from downloadable explanatory films.
To develop technical tourism through the discovery of local businesses and factories, via professionally developed tours and a network of direct sales points.
To increase the sales of
"Madeinpaysdauge" member companies and to create new jobs.
Pays d’Auge: a land of excellence
A genuine "concentrate" of Normandy, boasting 7 Appellations d'Origine Contrôlée (A.O.C.) which, over the centuries, have contributed towards its prestige, the Pays d'Auge is nevertheless far from resting on its laurels, but is looking to continue its progression by developing, by the year 2013, durable and cohesive projects focusing on its 3 key agricultural products: milk, meat and cider apples. This territorial strategy, relying on a global and quality-seeking approach and of which "Madeinpaysdauge" is a perfect illustration, was amply rewarded in 2006 via the "Rural Centre of Excellence" label awarded by the French Ministries of the Interior and Agriculture.
The best of the basket

Vintage Calvados, ready-made meals, farm-produced apple juice, jam, foie gras terrines, Pays d'Auge cider, matured cheeses, Normandy Pommeau…
26 painstakingly selected producers and around 150 carefully referenced products, only the finest of the Pays d'Auge's talented agrifood sector is presented in the "Madeinpaysdauge" on-line boutique.
A genuine challenge
First and foremost, professional, with the creation of an association: « Net@c » reuniting industrial and farm producers under the "Pays d'Auge" banner.
Then technical, with the development of a secure on-line boutique and a logistics platform ensuring supply and distribution.
And finally, marketable, through a selection of top quality produce with 48-hour delivery across the globe.
A helping hand from Europe
A genuine gateway for exchange and a territorial marketing tool, "Madeinpaysdauge" has benefited from substantial financial support from the European Union, via its Leader+ (2003-2008) initiative focusing on new information and communication technologies.
So, if you have a taste for e-buying,
then, go for e-buying with taste on "Madeinpaysdauge"!
