Historical Players in Organic Foods

Pioneers oforganic in Corsica, La Roulotte stores were founded thanks to Christa Duren, originally from Germany and settled in Corsica since the 1980s. The Swiss, Austrians, and Germans were the first to concern themselves with food quality in the 1950s-60s in reaction to the generalization of synthetic treatments derived from research on chemical weapons from World War I.

It was in the 1990s that organic products arrived from beyond the Rhine. Christa Duren, who worked in a camping site, noticed the recurring requests of German tourists for organic products they were accustomed to consuming. In 1988, the first La Roulotte was created in San Giuliano, followed by requests for deliveries all over Corsica. This success led to the opening of the first organic store in Ajaccio in 1993, covering an area of 500 square meters, followed by La Roulotte in Furiani in 2001 of 300 square meters, and more recently theRoulotte Prunette in Valle di Campoloroin March 2018.
