ORCHARD CERTIFIED AS ORGANIC BY ECOCERT CANADA

Over the months, rigorous work steps are applied to ensure the growth of the trees and the quality of their fruits. Rather than using chemicals, more “natural” methods are put forward and allow exceptional yield in the orchard. An agronomist specializing in organic cultivation supports the team throughout this process.
