HISTORY

Formerly picked in wood, the strawberries which we consume now are the result of crossings varieties of moderate regions of Europe and Americas.

NUTRITIONAL PROPRIETIES

Low in calories, strawberries contain vitamin B and C, as well as minerals like potassium, iron, phosphor and calcium.

PURCHASE AND PRESERVATION

You should prefer strawberries very firm of a brilliant red, without green or white part. Strawberries are fragile and do not endure either shocks or heat. To preserve longer, keep them refregerated.

For longer preservation, we suggest to freeze them either complete, cut, in sauce or jam.

Strawberries are planted with care, every year in the spring time, to make sure to have a field where strawberries are always abundant.

The plants are irrigated by a drop by drop system to give only the water necessary for their growth and production exempt from disease.

During June and July, our employees hand-made harvest the sweet fruits.We prepare our strawberry plants for winterby covering them with straw.

U-PICK opened to the public ! Come and pick strawberries directly in the fields. You can also buy them already picked at the farm stand.
