Meet in Raspberry Paradise Print

ImageDid you know that Les Voirons is the kingdom of Raspberries? Indeed, it is on this very land that the delicate berry earned its credentials in the early 50's. A reputation that has since led the small miracle of the Haute-Savoie to fill the jam jars of Swiss and French tables. If the cooperative closed its doors in 2003, it is renewed today by the Maison du Terroir. Besides raspberries in all its forms, this completely renovated shop offers a selection of local specialities.

At close proximity, the Ferme de l’Harpin in Saint-André de Boëge, dedicated to the cultivation of red berries, offers you a visit to their fruit orchard. An orchard which you might also explore through the freshly picked fruits, the jams, the jellies and the fruit juices manufactured with love at the farm. You wouldn't want to miss the experience of gathering fruits in the orchard of the «Au fil des saisons» House in Reignier, which also offers a shop for the less sporty ones to pick up their ready-made specialities !
