Located on the sunny terraces of Menton, between the sea and the mountains, Maison Gannac embodies the family's passion for Menton Lemon, an exceptional fruit recognized by a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) since 2015.
A story of family and terroir:
Founded by Laurent Gannac, a landscaper by training who fell in love with the Menton terroir, the company grew up on the heights of the town. A visionary, he transformed steep terrain into lemon orchards, helping to redefine the local landscape. His son Adrien, introduced to citrus growing as a child, now carries on the family legacy with a strong commitment to organic farming and sustainable development.
An authentic and respectful culture:
Established in 1991, Maison Gannac grows around 1,000 lemon trees, producing 25 to 30 tonnes of citrus fruit a year. The trees, grown from INRA-certified seedlings, have been cultivated according to the principles of 100% organic farming since 2013: organic fertilization, respect for the soil and absence of chemicals.
Production is focused on quality and local identity, rather than intensive yields.
Craftsmanship and a shared passion:
Maison Gannac transforms its citrus fruits - lemons, oranges, mandarins, bergamots - into artisanal products: jams, syrups, limoncello, liqueurs, oils and vinegars. Each fruit is processed by hand to guarantee total authenticity.
The lemon farm opens its doors to visitors for tastings and ecotourism experiences, while offering an online store where you can buy fruit, by-products or even your own lemon tree.
