CORPORATE CULTURE
We consider every employee a member of our family.
We treat all our staff fairly and equitably. We are committed to providing a pleasant and stimulating working environment, both administratively and in the field. Our offices have recently been renovated to provide a welcoming atmosphere that fosters teamwork. We also provide a soccer field for our local and foreign employees. In addition, our accommodation for foreign workers complies with current standards and is continuously maintained. During the harvest, workers are encouraged to listen to music and are sheltered from various weather conditions. These are just a few examples of the many amenities we offer to our staff.
«Hay una muy buena comunicación, te respetan y te dan tu lugar, te apoyan y la verdad de que te toman mucho en cuenta. Si tú aportas ellos te dan mucha confianza y te puedo decir que es un trabajo en equipo.»
«There's great communication, they respect you, give you your place, support you, and the truth is, they really consider you. If you contribute, they trust you, and I can honestly say that it’s genuine teamwork. »

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do you do in winter?
We dedicate this period to carrying out new projects, growing greenhouse strawberries at Marché Fermier Pitre, recruiting, and preparing machinery, housing, and equipment for the busy season.
Although most of our fruit production takes place from June to October, we work year-round to ensure we are ready for this critical period! We also love to diversify our activities: we are involved in plant production, as well as the distribution and processing of berries.
What are your recruitment periods?
We recruit year-round based on the group’s needs to support our growth. However, spring is the main hiring period for local workers as the production season approaches. In winter, we begin recruiting foreign workers, as this process takes several months.
