our story
DÉLICE D’AGRUMES is a family-run business that pioneered the cultivation of rare exotic citrus trees as fruit hedges in Provence.
With over 40 years' experience in market gardening, Loik de Feraudy set out in 2020 to grow 1,200 trees in the 16,000 m² of historic greenhouses.
Now unheated, but equipped with a thermal insulation system, the greenhouses are home to a crop that is unique in France, adapted to global warming and producing exceptional fruits.
"The Mediterranean climate of Provence and our greenhouses provide an ideal setting for cultivating high-quality citrus fruits. After 40 years of experience in vegetable farming, planting citrus trees in 2020 marked an exciting and bold turning point for our family business. Today, our festive citrus fruits, such as finger limes and Buddha’s hands, inspire local chefs and elevate the dishes of discerning food lovers."

innovation is one of our drivers
It is with audacity and innovation that we take up the challenge of growing exceptional citrus fruits in Provence. If the Mediterranean climate and the shelter of our greenhouses offer a favorable environment for these trees, growing them in fruit hedges constitutes a real challenge.
At DÉLICE D’AGRUMES, common sense and innovation are at the heart of our commitments. Beyond integrated pest control which has always been part of our growing methods, our passion for plants and the living world pushes us to innovate. For example, we introduced quails into our crops. These precious allies feed on ants and predatory insects, creating an ecological balance and protecting our trees in a respectful and harmonious way.
