The vegetables

The vegetables of our organic baskets are almost exclusively grown on our farm and are available according to the growing season, which depends on Mother Nature’s magnanimity.  We cultivate over 50 vegetables and about 150 different varieties.  Our main objective is to provide our clients with the best quality, freshness and a good range diversity of products.  At different moments of the season, we will include to our baskets some certified organic fruits and vegetables grown by other local farms.  In such a case, our members will always be informed from where these products are coming from.

Distribution of our baskets is made on a flexible mini-market model that allows you to make many different choices.  You can also get a hold of your favourite vegetables on top of your basket, when available, by getting a veggie-credit (see how it works on the page organic baskets – the way it works).

To help you make a choice, here are some examples of the 2016 season basket content.
