We have several fruit trees (apple, pear, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, currant, fig, plum …), whose fruit we use to prepare jams, fruit juices, sweets and also from eat fresh for breakfast.
Our fruit is not treated, it feeds on healthy earth, water and sun.
We mainly have lavender, mint, rosemary and thyme that we use in the preparation of sweets and jams, to make our products unique.
The lavender flowers are very fragrant and, after harvesting, we carefully dry them to perfume the rooms of our guests.
