HISTORICAL
In the early 2000s, growing strawberries and apples remained at the center of the family's agricultural activities. But, seeking to diversify, she tried different crops over the years: raspberries, asparagus, onions, sunflowers... and finally in 2010, morello cherries.
Little known in Quebec, you had to be visionary and determined to want to devote yourself to the cultivation of the morello cherry, this little sour cherry. Especially because of the lack of expertise in growing this emerging fruit in Quebec, they had to develop their own production method based on their knowledge of growing strawberries and apples.
In 2015, product transformation began with the manufacture of Croque Cerise products. This transformation is done directly on the farm in Saint-Paul-d'Abbotsford. Since then, the company has specialized in the production, distribution and processing of fruits such as morello cherries, raspberries and blueberries.
THE FEATURED PRODUCT: THE GRIOTTE
