Harvesting at the Limousin producers

Located in Tersannes, Les Vergers de L’Aumaillerie welcomes you to a family-run farm for a friendly, flavour-filled harvest. Depending on the season, you can pick apples, pears, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and cherries from our 32 hectares of orchards. The picking season opens in May with the first strawberries and closes in November with the last apples.

Seasonal fruit awaits you in an idyllic setting, ideal for a family outing, where young and old can discover the pleasure of harvesting their own fruit, to the rhythm of the seasons. It’s guaranteed to be a moment of sharing and indulgence!

The little extras:

• Since 2010, the Jaudinot family has been welcoming you to Chez ma Pomme, the orchard’s crêperie, and offering an authentic crêperie menu that showcases farm produce and the tastes of our Limousin terroir.
• Les Vergers de l’Aumaillerie is also an educational farm!

So before you go, be sure to contact him to make sure the fruit is ripe and that he’s on the spot. Don’t forget to bring your own containers.
