Depending on the season, we offer pick-your-own strawberries, haskaps, sunflowers, and pumpkins. Availability varies from year to year depending on the harvest and the weather.

No. Visitors can come directly during opening hours.
Do I need to bring my own containers?
Yes and no: we provide the necessary containers, but you can always bring your own.
Why are some pick-your-own farms temporarily closing?
In order to allow the fruit to continue ripening and to ensure a quality experience, some crops may temporarily close between two harvest periods.
The products

We transform part of our harvest into jams, marinades, syrups, fruit pearls, and fine strawberry, raspberry, and haskap berry wines and spirits. Several products are made directly from fruit grown on the farm.
Where can we buy your products?
Our products are available at the farm shop as well as at several points of sale throughout Lanaudière, the Laurentians, Montreal, Laval and the Montérégie. You can find all points of sale here .
Are your products available all year round?
The majority of our processed products are offered year-round, depending on available stock.
Can your products be ordered online?
Our products are featured on our website. However, we currently prefer to sell directly from the farm and through our partner retailers.
What makes your products unique?
For over 100 years, our family has cultivated and processed its harvests to maximize the value of the farm's produce. Many of our products are made from recipes developed over generations, while others reflect our commitment to innovation, such as fruit pearls and strawberry wine.
