In total, there are over 2000 across the four corners of France who have embraced this fruity concept. Thanks to this simple and cost-effective habit, businesses are enhancing workplace quality of life, fostering friendliness, and boosting team cohesion. It’s a unique way to promote healthier eating, but more importantly, it has a positive impact on the environment and supports small producers.
A healthy and local diet
What does it involve exactly? Every week, Les Vergers de Gally prepares and delivers baskets of fresh, seasonal fruits to participating companies. This encourages employees across France to adopt a more natural and healthier diet.

At Les Vergers de Gally, local produce and a connection to the land take center stage. A large portion of the fruits comes straight from the family-owned 25 hectares of orchards located in Saint Cyr l’École, in the Yvelines, along with orchards in the 95 department that have been around for many years and a network of local producers from various regions of France. The crops are certified High Environmental Value.
The top priority? Ensuring exceptional quality. Les Vergers de Gally collaborates with a network of agencies, each having their own circle of local producers. They prepare and deliver their fruit baskets to many French metropolitan areas: Paris, Lille, Saint Cyr l'École, Lyon, Grenoble, and Marseille.
An enduring environmental commitment

And because Les Vergers de Gally does things right from A to Z, they are committed to minimizing their environmental impact, to preserve our beautiful planet. To achieve this, they use various levers. They notably offer to plant a fruit tree for every subscription; damaged but still edible fruits are dropped off at food banks and charities — that's 11,432 kilos of rescued fruit in 2024 — while the rest are composted within the Gally group itself. What about the delivery of baskets? 28% of the vehicles used run on green energy. Les Vergers de Gally plan to keep this momentum going and increase this number in the years to come.
So what can we wish you for the upcoming new year? Maybe to include more fruits from Les Vergers de Gally in your life!
