FERME CIDRICOLE BIOLOGIQUE
We can't talk about the production of this organic cider farm without evoking the history of the Château de Canon. Built in 1745, its farm was designed to allow its inhabitants to live in autarky, as advocated by the "Physiocracy" (an economic and political doctrine that bases economic development on agriculture). Nearly three centuries later, the same philosophy is applied to the cider farm as to the adjoining educational farm. The orchards, planted with ten hectares of tall apple trees and three hectares of pear trees, produce some 50 tonnes of fruit per year. The apple juices and organic drinks are made on the farm and are traditionally prepared with many varieties from the Pays d'Auge : raw organic cider, semi-dry organic cider, sweet organic cider and traditional organic cider - drier and less sparkling than raw organic cider -, organic Halbi (Norman speciality, a blend of apples and pears), perry, organic apple juice, organic AOC calvados, organic cider vinegar... Many of these products have won medals in various competitions.
