For the taste
The taste of summer… all year round!
- Fraise d’hiver strawberries offer consumers a product that is picked when ripe, just like on a perfect July day. They grow in soil, receive optimal light energy and a constant, controlled water supply. Several varieties may end up in your shopping cart, but at the Winter Farm, we mainly grow Albion and Cléry strawberries.
For the planet
Local purchases have a local impact!
- Choosing Fraise d’hiver strawberries, a locally-grown fruit, has several benefits. It eliminates transportation required for imported strawberries, and the berries are completely free of any trace of chemical pesticides. 90% of the water used to irrigate the plants is recovered, and no harmful discharge is released into the environment. With their recyclable packaging, Fraise d’hiver strawberries are truly an environmentally friendly food! And you’re supporting local producers, too!
Like a greenhouse strawberry?
Not quite!
- Unlike greenhouse strawberries that partly depend on natural sunlight to grow, Winter Farm’s vertical farm is lit using artificial lighting exclusively. Thanks to water-cooled LED lights, it’s always nice and bright in the Winter Farm! The lights were specially developed to foster optimal growth of strawberry plants.
