    Description

    We have a little fruits and vegetable organic farm, certified by QuebecVrai in 2017.

    We growth more than thirty fruits and vegetables and we specialize in a dozen including squash and melons, sun plants as peppers, eggplants and heirlooms tomatoes ...

    We only use the BCS and its accessories as towed tools. No tractors, no pesticides are used on the farm. We do compost and homemade warms-compost. We use permacultural techniques, on permanent beds, we use crops rotation aswell and all the latest tools in manual farming.

    The book of Jean Martin Fortier and mostly all of his techniques are used on the farm!
