If you would like more information on the potential returns please feel free to contact us via email.
For the £99 offer we will personally tag your tree with your unique reference number, plant it & then take care of all the maintenance and upkeep for full time you own the tree, 15 years.
After approximately 4-5 years the first crop of truffles will be ready to harvest, this is when the excitement begins.
Once picked, we have the crop externally audited and you can either have your share sent to you as truffles* OR we can sell your share for you and simply send you a cheque.
Currently black Perigord truffles fetch around £800 per kilo, this rises by around 4% every year. In drought years however this increases dramatically.
*All packaging & shipping costs for sending truffles will be clearly indicated to you every year prior to the harvest and you can then decide whether you want crop or cash!
Here are the most common questions asked. Should your question not be here do send us an email
Q. Will I definitely get Truffles?
Every tree is inoculated and we are planting ‘spare’ trees to offset any sterile trees (which will just be re-inoculated for future use) and any tree that dies will be replaced by us free of charge
Q. How will you audit the crop?
We have to audit the crop for legal purposes so each tree is tagged and will be individually audited and recorded.
Q. Can I visit my tree?
Yes – please contact us for more information on where to stay etc.
Q. What happens if my tree dies?
We will replace it with one of a similar age free of charge.
Q. I really like this idea, can I tell my friends?
Please do, you can become an Affiliate free of charge and earn a modest commission on tree sales – which we can donate to the charity of your choice if you wish.
Q. If I opt to have truffles sent to me how does this work?
We will arrange to send you truffles within 24hrs of harvesting. All packaging & carriage costs will be made available to you as and when the crops are ready and these will need to be paid for prior to shipping.
Q. Once I have taken the option of either “payment” for my truffles or actual truffles sent to me can I change my preference at any time?
Yes. You can change this at any time by emailing us at the CONTACT US section giving your Unique Reference No. You will then receive an email confirming your preference has been changed.
