About us
Little Berry, Big Love
- Our Values
- Locally Grown
- Process, Ingredients and Mission
Fruit d’Or, which you previously knew as Patience, makes healthy snacks from local (Quebec-grown) berries, raised slowly with the utmost care, taking time to savour them.
We hold to the strong belief that it’s better to do things well than to do them fast. We move at nature’s own pace. We ask no more than what nature can give naturally, and we press our berries just enough to make them even tastier and juicier.
Our Values
Our Values
Our company is founded on a deep respect for nature and driven by a sincere desire to promote kindness towards all living beings. Innovation is at the heart of Fruit d’Or’s DNA, pushing us to embrace our creativity to offer products that are both healthy and delicious.
To continue harvesting our small fruits in the years to come, it is essential for us to make efforts to preserve the health of our planet. This is why we have implemented a sustainable development plan, in which we make clear commitments to ensure a sustainable world for people and nature.
Locally Grown
In the year 2000, the Le Moine family, as well as 2 other families chose to invest in organic cranberry farming in Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, starting the Fruit d’Or Company. Even though at the time organic farming was not very common, and even almost non-existent, their desire for healthy, eco-friendly farming let them very quickly carve out a prime spot for themselves in the food industry.
Later on, with the same care for product quality and respect for the land, they expanded their activities to include conventional farming, broadening their offering and strengthening their ability to share the best of their small fruits with the world.
In 2015, they created Patience to share their love of cranberries and offer simple, wholesome, and delicious snacks. In 2026, the brand you know so well officially becomes part of Fruit d’Or, its parent company.
Still, wanting more than anything to share their passion for cranberry farming with the world, in 2015, they decided to launch the Patience brand, an inspirational retail brand name that offers healthy and delicious snacks.
Process, Ingredients and Mission
Fruit d’Or products are made from simple, carefully selected ingredients. Since the beginning, we have practiced responsible farming. Certain things cannot be rushed if you want to do them right. That is why we personally tend to our berries every at step of the way, from seed to shrub to dried fruit. By showering our cranberry fields with care and attention, we ensure that they will live on practically forever. We use a unique drying process that occurs slowly over a long period of time. Our berries are fully grown, and then gently dried to the perfect point, just the amount for them to retain as much of their flavour and nutrition as possible.
