Organic farming: more than a growing method

As passionate nursery growers, we see the importance of organic farming every day. Beyond any trend, it is a real commitment to the health of our soils and the well-being of future generations. In this article, find out why choosing organic matters so much, especially when growing fruit trees.

Organic farming is much more than an alternative to conventional agriculture. It is a holistic approach that respects natural cycles and biodiversity. In our nursery, we apply these principles to all our production, from traditional apple trees to berries.

The fundamentals of organic farming

At Terra’Terre, this approach shapes our everyday work. For example, our pear trees and other fruit trees are grown using time-honoured methods, enriched by modern knowledge of agroecology.

Organic certification: strict inspections for flawless qualityEcocert organic farming logo

Obtaining organic certification is no mere formality. It is a rigorous process that demands total commitment. For our organic fruit tree nursery, it means regular inspections and compliance with demanding specifications.

A demanding certification process

  • Mandatory conversion period of 2 to 3 years
  • Unannounced inspections throughout the year
  • Full traceability of production
  • Regular analyses of soils and plants

This rigour shows in the quality of our trees, whether our hardy apple trees or our flavourful cherry trees.

Recent scientific studies confirm the substantial health benefits of organic produce. In our nursery, we see these benefits first-hand in our berries and fruit trees.

Fruit richer in nutrients

Natural antioxidants

The fruit of our heirloom apple varieties contains up to 69% more antioxidants than its conventional equivalents.

Essential minerals

Grown in living soils, our trees produce fruit that is naturally richer in magnesium, iron and zinc.
