Fresh and processed fruit - Aphaïa Nature

In the heart of the Arre Valley, Alexandre Racanière offers fruit from a certified organic orchard.

The former family apple orchard, covering less than 1 ha of meadows and terraces, is still home to 5 century-old apple trees (Reinette du Vigan and Reine des Reinettes). The orchard has gradually been turned into a collector's orchard to preserve the Cévennes varieties. " I roam the Lozère, Gard, Aveyron and sometimes the Ardèche to unearth endangered old varieties of gastronomic or cultural interest". Some forty varieties of apple, fifteen pears, persimmons, plums, cherries and a dozen quinces are grown in this orchard, as well as on terraces in other communes. The fruit is sold fresh or processed (dried, in purée, paste or jam).
