OUR VARIETIES
Apple picking time
The harvest season generally runs from late August to mid-October. Depending on the apple variety and the weather conditions, the harvest may take place earlier or later in the season. However, mid-September is the ideal time to enjoy a wide variety of apples.
⚠ This year, our apple trees are impacted by climate change: the harvest will be restricted and will run from the end of August to the end of September. We’re counting on you to pick a maximum of 50 kg so that all Astros fans can enjoy them!
AN ORGANIC SHIFT
Our Environmental Engagements
As our vines are already organic, it was logical to think green for our orchards, despite the apples’ sensitivity to diseases. All our orchards are organic with an Ecocert certification since 2023. Our team is committed to preserving our ecosystem and ensures the quality of our apples by favouring natural and measured cultivation practices as well as the use of local biodiversity.
