If you believe that work should always be both fun and creative, this is the place for you. We are located in the beautiful Eastern Townships of Quebec, very close to the Vermont border. There are several market gardens, a small orchard and a greenhouse where we produce seedlings for sale in the spring-mostly heirloom tomatoes and then use the greenhouse to grow tomatoes and peppers all summer. We have added chickens, and turkeys. There is a also an active woodlot management project on the property. In addition I run the weekly Farmers Market in our local town. In 2014 I added educational workshops to the farm activities. There is a fabulous swimming pond on the property, lots of wonderful walking trails and I am a terrific cook. It is my great pleasure to share my knowledge with others and to learn from them in return. The farm can be reached by a bus service from Montreal. We speak both English and French.
Location: near Mansonville.
