In total, there are over 2000 of them across the four corners of France who have embraced this fruity concept. Thanks to this simple and low-cost habit, companies enhance the quality of life at work, foster friendliness, and build team cohesion. It’s a unique way to promote healthier eating, but even more importantly, to make a positive impact on the environment and support 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 French employees to adopt a more natural and healthier diet.

At Les Vergers de Gally, local and a connection to the earth take center stage. A big part of the fruits come directly from the 25 hectares of family orchards located in Saint Cyr l’École, in the Yvelines, as well as orchards in the 95 region that have been around for many years, along with a network of local producers from various regions of France. Their crops are certified High Environmental Value.
The top priority? Ensuring exceptional quality. Les Vergers de Gally collaborates with a network of agencies, all of which have 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.
Environmental commitment for the long haul

And because Les Vergers de Gally does things right from A to Z, they commit to minimizing their environmental impact, in order to preserve our beautiful planet. To achieve this, various actions are taken. They notably offer to plant a fruit tree for every subscription; damaged but still edible fruits are donated to food banks and community organizations — that's 11,432 kilos of rescued fruits in 2024 — while the rest is composted within the Gally group itself. What about the delivery of the baskets? 28% of the vehicles used run on green energy. Les Vergers de Gally plans to continue on this path and increase this percentage in the coming years.
So what can we wish you for the upcoming new year? Perhaps to have more fruits from Les Vergers de Gally in your life!
