Adopt a Tree in Provence

By Linda Tancs

What better way to guarantee yourself a steady supply of sumptuous truffles than to adopt your own oak tree at Les Pastras, an organic property in Provence featuring 11 hectares of grapes, olives, apricots, cherries, plums, apples, pears, pomegranates, figs, almonds, hazelnuts and, of course, black winter truffles.  They offer truffle hunting tours followed by truffle hors d’œuvres and champagne.  Best of all, for every tree adopted, Les Pastras buys a fruit tree for the One Family orphanage in Haiti.
