Growing Method

Our courgette flowers are grown both outdoors in open fields and in greenhouses, on substrate and in soil. In open-field cultivation, the plants develop naturally, while greenhouse growing allows for better-controlled conditions. This influences the growth and quality of the flowers, so we can always guarantee a fresh, flavourful product.
