How long have you been harvesting fruit?

Why arboriculture?

The pleasure of creating, of living in the open air and of being in control of my time and my organization. With organic, in addition, the pleasure of contributing to respect for the environment and the consumer – and also for my personal health.

Be present in your orchard, be vigilant to the evolution of trees according to the seasons. It is also important to update your knowledge regularly. And I respect what the technicians I consult tell me. And outside of work, very important, I spend time with my family…

What does the Coop represent for you?

An organic and fair trade company. So a logical continuity with my commitments.
