Our Story

Discover the story of our family cherry orchard in Fernelmont πŸ’

It all started four years ago, when we decided to open the doors of our orchard to the public πŸ’ The idea was simple: let people come and pick their own cherries. And it quickly turned into a real family adventure!

Florence

Hi, I'm Florence! If I'm not welcoming you at the orchard with a smile, I'm probably at my computer putting together a flyer or a social media post. Yep, I love communication! But what motivates me most in this adventure is seeing the people who come to pick leaving with a smile on their faces β€” knowing they truly enjoyed the moment (and will keep enjoying it for a few more days thanks to their full baskets). A special mention too for all the wonderful moments shared with my brother, my sister and my dad.

Arnaud

Arnaud is the orchard's Swiss Army knife. During the season, he's the one welcoming you with a smile β€” and it's hard to leave without having had a good chat. The rest of the year, he plants new trees, lends a hand with the picking… and even built this website you're reading right now! Fun fact: during our very first season, he was found sitting between two rows of cherry trees, supposedly "checking fruit quality". His bucket was empty. His mouth, not so much.
