Le plus mignon des concombres, goût citronné.

The Tante Alice cucumber is a very productive and disease-resistant variety, offering crisp, juicy and easy-to-digest flesh. Its fruits are tasty, with a delicately fragrant taste.

This heritage variety was passed down thanks to the know-how of Marie-Alice Laflamme Gosselin. At age 90, she selected the most beautiful cucumbers, soaked them in milk on St. Anthony's Eve, then planted them in rich, fertile black soil. Its seeds were then carefully preserved by an enthusiast, allowing this rare and delicious variety to be known.

The Aunt Alice cucumber produces few seeds, which makes growing it even more special.

Cucumbers have been cultivated and consumed for over 3000 years, particularly in India and Egypt. The ‘Marketmore’ variety is particularly popular for its delicious flesh and thin skin, making it an excellent choice as a garden cucumber. Easy to grow in the ground or in a pot, this cucumber offers great productivity, especially in the presence of pollinating insects.

The majority of our seeds come directly from our farm. However, in the event that a variety encounters growing difficulties or is out of stock, we call on other seed companies to offer you a varied and quality selection. This is the case for this specific variety.

The lemon cucumber is a very old variety probably originating from India. It stands out for its mild and sweet flavor, without any bitterness. Easy to grow, it is particularly appreciated by children thanks to the original and attractive shape of its fruits. This cucumber is ideal for diversifying your garden and providing a pleasant taste experience for the whole family.

Achocha is a climbing plant from the same family as cucumbers and is native to the Andes. It produces fruits with a similar taste, perfect for adding crunch to your dishes. Easy to grow and naturally resistant to striped leaf beetle, these fruits are ideal for home gardeners. It is recommended to pick the Achocha when it is still small, as this is when it offers a particularly crunchy texture. You can eat Achocha raw or marinate it to diversify your recipes.

The vast majority of our varieties are produced on our farm. However, some are grown elsewhere, and this is the case of this variety which was produced by Semences Nouveau Paysan, a local certified organic producer.
