Vernon, Normandy
Apples, tomatoes, tulips, handmade flour, and more. Everything grown, picked, and packed in a single Normandy garden. No warehouse. No supermarket. Just soil, sunlight, and a short drive.
Supermarkets sell you produce that traveled 1,500 km, sat in cold storage for weeks, and passed through four middlemen before reaching your plate. The tomato is still red. But the taste left somewhere around Belgium.
GardenGate is the opposite of that. One garden, one grower, zero distance. What gets picked Tuesday morning arrives at your door Tuesday afternoon. We grow what the season gives us, and we sell it while it still tastes like something.
Seasonal. Diverse. All from the same soil.
Normandy orchard apples, crisp and tart
Sun-ripened citrus, picked at peak sweetness
Sweet corn, harvested fresh each morning
Vine-ripened, bursting with actual flavor
Garden peas, tender and naturally sweet
Fresh-cut bouquets from the flower beds
Stone-milled from our own wheat crop
Premium productEach week, we update what's available based on what the garden is producing right now. No fake inventory.
Order by Wednesday. We harvest to your order on Thursday, so nothing sits around losing flavor.
Collect at the garden gate in Vernon, or get local delivery to your door the same day.
Most flour comes from industrial mills processing grain from dozens of anonymous farms. Ours comes from a wheat field you could walk through in ten minutes. We mill it ourselves, in small batches, so you get flour that actually smells like grain. Your bread will know the difference.
GardenGate is not a platform. It's not a marketplace. It's one person, one garden, and a commitment to growing food the way it should be grown: slowly, seasonally, and close to the people who eat it.
