HoneyCrunch®
Organic
Organically grown!
HoneyCrunch® Organic is currently grown exclusively in Germany. The conversion of plots in our French orchards to organic agriculture began in 2020. The conversion period for perennial crops, like the apple, is three years. The first harvest of French HoneyCrunch® Organic will thus be in 2023.
HoneyCrunch® Organic will be certified by the French Agriculture Biologique label and the European Union organic label. This guarantees that we do not use any artificial substances and our production methods observe the label specifications.
