Bekaa Orchards

The Bekaa orchard stretches out over an area of 350,000m² at around 800m above sea level. Its dry weather and fertile land are extremely suitable for the growth of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. The agricultural plantations there include a large variety of lettuce fields (baby romaine, batavia [red and green], boston lettuce [red and green], frisée fine, iceberg, lollo rossa, lollo verde, oak leaf [red and green], radicchio and red lettuce), broccoli, a wide variety of cabbage (choux rave [red and green], cabbage [red and green], cauliflower and chinese cabbage), dill, fennel and potato. Also available are plantations of apple (over 10 varieties), asian pear, melon, nectarine, peach, tomato (15 different types for cooking and eating) and watermelon.

Throughout, the land is irrigated by an automated sprinkler and drip system. Chemicals are minimally used, only when deemed absolutely necessary. Depending on the weather and the season, green housing or open field farming is employed.
