The farm

Our story

Rémy had the advantage of growing his garlic on family land, which favored his entrepreneurial start. He is part of a new generation of farmers concerned about the environment and convinced of the benefits of agriculture without chemical inputs. His inspiring journey is proof that it is possible to have peer support, even when the vision of the means of the profession diverges. Passion for agriculture is a powerful bond that unites and brings people together.

Following studies in history, anthropology and foreign languages, his energy, determination and creativity allowed him to make this professional reorientation a success. At the start of his activity, he worked only manually, with artisanal equipment, sometimes homemade. Wishing to develop his production, he then decided to partially automate it by investing in Quebec made equipment, such as a brusher, a grader and an automatic huller. This semi-mechanization plus a controlled drying system has made it possible to improve the quality and conservation of its products.

In 2022, obtaining the agricultural grant for the Saint-Hyacinthe county contributed to the acquisition of new equipment, notably a new mechanical planter and a straw spreader. He will be able then to save time and reduce both his manual workload and that of his seasonal team.
