Apr\u00e8s son mariage, le couple d\u2019entrepreneurs a mis sur pied sa propre p\u00e9pini\u00e8re d\u2019arbres fruitiers et Irma a approfondi ses connaissances en s\u2019inscrivant \u00e0 un cours d\u2019entretien des vergers. Inutile de dire que les Botden sont une v\u00e9ritable mine de connaissances dans ce domaine qui les passionne. En 2001, souhaitant relever de nouveaux d\u00e9fis et \u00e9largir leur entreprise, ils ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d\u2019immigrer au Canada, persuad\u00e9s que ce pays leur offrait la meilleure possibilit\u00e9 de r\u00e9ussite, mais \u00e9galement s\u00e9duits par ses vastes espaces et sa riche mosa\u00efque culturelle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Les Botden, avant de quitter les Pays-Bas, ont n\u00e9goci\u00e9 le droit de devenir les cultivateurs exclusifs de la pomme Red Prince au Canada et ont import\u00e9 des porte-greffes de leur p\u00e9pini\u00e8re de Hollande. En 2001, ils sont devenus copropri\u00e9taires de Global Fruit et, depuis, ils se consacrent \u00e0 la d\u00e9couverte et \u00e0 l\u2019implantation continuelles de technologies agricoles novatrices et des meilleures pratiques de production et de gestion des pommes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
En ao\u00fbt 2013, avec l\u2019acquisition de Binkley Apples, l\u2019entreprise des Botden est devenue une entreprise pleinement int\u00e9gr\u00e9e de culture, de conditionnement et d\u2019exp\u00e9dition.<\/p>\n

The Botdens \u2013 A Journey that Started with an Apple.<\/p>
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> The Botdens were born in the Netherlands, where Irma Botden studied social pedagogy and worked in the health care sector for several years. Marius Botden, taking an early interest in managing orchards, decided to earn a Bachelor\u2019s degree in horticulture, specializing in growing fruit. Eager to advance his craft, he gained more experience by working in garden centres and at landscaping companies.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Once this entrepreneurial couple was married, they started their own fruit tree nurser, while Irma furthered her education by enrolling in an orchard maintenance course. In 2001, wanting to explore new challenges and expand their business, they decided to immigrate to Canada. Not only did they believe that Canada offered the best opportunity for success, but they fell in love with the country\u2019s wide open spaces and rich cultural mosaic.<\/p> Prior to their departure from the Netherlands, they negotiated the rights to become the exclusive growers of the Red Prince apple in Canada and imported rootstock from their nursery in Holland. In 2001, they became co-owners of Global Fruit, and since have been dedicated to the continual discovery and implementation of innovative agricultural technologies and best apple production and management practices.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> As of September 2013 Global Fruit became a fully integrated operation as a grower\/ packer\/shipper with the acquisition of Binkley Apples by the Botdens.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5157","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
