An apothecary garden

Wild chicory, Great burdock, Yarrow, Spearmint, Chamomile Romaine, Coltsfoot … We are native from an island bewitched with green magic. Apothecary wizards, we are interested in permaculture through biodiversity of wild herbs, benefactor roots and native flowers. They inspire our recipes, motivate our intentions and push our aspirations. We keep the origins by preserving in our gardens their presence without any intervention.

Harvest rhythms

From the first flowers of spring, we pick coltsfoot and dandelion flower for our first Crémaillotte marmalades. The first heat of June brings us the first strawberries, rhubarb and camerise. Then follow the abundance of summer strawberries and gadellas in July, then raspberry and blueberry in August. The rhubarb which returns in September, followed by the abundance of autumn strawberries, blackberries, morello cherries and plums. The season ends with a deluge of apples and such small sea buckthorn berries.

Calendar of harvests

Our jams are made from freshly picked fruit. Follow our calendar of harvests on the island of Orleans.
