fruits of soil? fruits from the soil? fruits from soil?
It doesn't sound right to me, is there anything beter?
exple: "Le pruneau, fruit d’un terroir par excellence !"
or: "Parcourez la rubrique « Fruit du terroir », pour connaître toute l’histoire du Pruneau"
Many Thanks

Comment: "merci, j'aime bien cette idée, "home soil" ça sonne très bien avec mon contexte et reprend l'idée de 'régional' comme proposée par Muriel - Merci à tous les 2 donc!"
