I purchased the Verger LaPommalbonne Orchard in 1997.
Previously, I had owned a farm for 18 years but I finally opted to focus on fruit. Apple growers Gilles,
Hertel and Marcel Gagnon taught me all I know about the art of growing apples and its challenges. Their father, Ubald, was responsible for introducing apples to Compton in the 30s.
The next
generation, my son David, is a fourth generation of Compton apple growers.
We have 10,000 apple trees in 12 varieties.
Open from late July to December.
Many terroir products. |
