In the fields of Chanv
A plant with one-thousand-and-one virtues, an ideal climate, and enthusiastic artisans: that’s all that was needed to bring Chanv, a growing local business, to light. The Quebec business first came to be in 2004 in Knowlton, in the Eastern Townships, before getting a second wind in 2017, when it was acquired by Dany Lefebvre and Marie-Ève Parenteau.

Jardins d'Ambroise
In 2015, at Saint-Ambroise-de-Kildare in the heart of the Lanaudière region, Julie and her spouse Sébastien founded the Jardins d’Ambroise. Offering fresh, healthy and organic vegetables is their mission.
In their organic vegetable farm, they grow a wide variety of vegetables including lettuce, squash, garlic and tomatoes, without GMO or synthetic chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
In order to preserve biodiversity and to reduce the incidence of fungal diseases, Julie and Sébastien practice crop rotation, which means alternating crops in the same field, from year to year. Because providing high-quality vegetables is their priority.
