Our products are only grown on farmland on the northern coast of Brittany. This 45 km wide coastal strip benefits from a temperate oceanic climate where periods of frost and strong heat are rare. The horticulturists have always believed in the strength of the collective. However, they retain their independence. Each grower is free to grow the vegetables he wants, when he wants, while respecting the quality specifications and the requirements of the brand. Our model remains on a human scale with small family farms.

COLIFLOWERS

Brittany produces about 80% of the total French production of cauliflowers. Cauliflower is the historical vegetable of the Prince of Brittany. Over time, we have acquired a great deal of expertise in this product. Almost all our producers grow it. Cauliflower likes temperate and humid climates, so it is perfectly adapted to Brittany. They can be harvested all year round. All cauliflowers of the year are planted in a period of approximately one month, between July 15 and August 15. Depending on the variety, the white heads will appear between 75 and 300 days after planting, i.e. between two and 10 months. It is therefore a slow crop that requires a lot of attention. Harvested entirely by hand with a large knife, the cauliflowers are placed on a conveyor belt that transports them inside a trailer. The cauliflowers are then immediately placed in wooden crates, ready for delivery. Packing them in this way in the field is a guarantee of optimum freshness on your plate.

TRADITIONAL SHALLOTS

Traditional shallots have been cultivated in the same way in Brittany since the 17th century. It is a demonstration of historical know-how, since planting and harvesting are done entirely by hand. From the planting of one bulb (in February and March), a clump of 10 shallots is obtained (harvested in July), whose common root is broken when they are harvested, leaving a “callus” at the base of each shallot. This mode of production differentiates traditional shallots from onions, as the latter are grown from seed. Like onions, shallots belong to the lily family.

Traditional shallots are important from an agronomic point of view because of their rotation with other vegetables in the range. Treatments are limited thanks to the development of new disease-resistant varieties, created by and for the Prince of Brittany's horticulturists.
