10th edition of the 'open orchards' operation

Each year, ANPP (Association Nationale Pommes Poires) organizes the "Open Orchards" operation for a weekend.

 

 

 

For a weekend, as part of the “Vergers Ouverts” operation, producers welcome the general public to discover their profession, their passion and to explain their production ethics through the 'Eco-responsible orchards' approach. '.

 

 

 

The 'Eco-responsible orchards' approach marks the commitment of apple growers to production methods that respect the environment and biodiversity in orchards, to offer quality French apple, healthy and rich in taste. The 1,300 certified apple growers 'Eco-responsible Orchards' are committed to

- promote biodiversity in orchards,

- reason for interventions in orchards,

 

- harvest the apples by hand at optimum maturity,

 

- guarantee the traceability of the orchard to the point of sale,
