Here is what Ms. Frappier told me when I contacted her following her letter: "We used to order our seeds through the catalogs of WHPerron, and another company. I believe it was called Norseco. We produced tomatoes in greenhouses in Abitibi, in Matamic, near Lasarre. It was the Frappier greenhouses, in 1976. We made a few plants to sell, but it was mostly market gardening. I really liked these tomatoes- there they were making long bunches of beautiful cherry tomatoes. We stopped production in the early 2000s, and I would say I had been saving my seeds for 20-25 years already, because the variety didn't appear. no longer in any catalogue. I couldn't find it anywhere. I think it was replaced by the Sweet 100 variety, or Sweet mignon. I tried it, but I much preferred the Mon Plaisir.";So we the pleasure of making it available in our turn. Thanks to the Frappier family for saving this variety. Thanks to René Paquet for providing us with a vintage photo from the 1987 Semences Laval catalogue.

Pepper Peach Sugar Rush (Capsicum baccatum)
3.78 $ 3.78 $ 3.7800000000000002 CAD
The Peach Sugar Rush is a pepper that was selected by Chris Fowler, finally stabilized in 2012, 8 years after its first tests. He had identified that the pink color was linked to high sugar levels and a very pronounced citrus taste. The result is really successful because this pepper is actually sweet, with notes of apricot, peach and lemon before it comes the hot. 50,000 to 100,000 on the Scoville scale, it sits below a Habanero. Ultra productive and delicious (for pepper lovers!) it didn't take less for it to become one of our favorites on the farm.

This does not prevent you from consuming it before! Variety isolated under greenhouse + net.

Tuberous chervil (Chaerophyllum bulbosum)
3.78 $ 3.78 $ 3.7800000000000002 CAD
Despite its name, root chervil should not be confused with aromatic chervil. We do not eat its leaves and its stem which are toxic, but rather its root in the shape of a small spinning top. This forgotten tuber has been cultivated since ancient times in continental Europe. It has a sweet and delicate flavor reminiscent of potato and chestnut. It is eaten cooked, like parsnips, as a side dish or mashed. It is important not to overcook it to prevent its flesh from becoming mealy. It is necessary to wait several weeks after harvest before consuming it in order to allow its flavor to reach its full potential. It is harvested when the leaves begin to turn yellow and fall to the ground. Root chervil seeds have a shelf life of about 1 year.

The root is eaten, not the leaves and stem which are poisonous.
