Our family farmer program celebrates its 15th anniversary!

Published on 

Actu - Chandelles gâteau d'anniversaire ASC

In 1995, Equiterre launched a pilot project involving one farm, Cadet-Roussel, and about 50 Montreal families, who agreed to pay in advance for a share of the harvest.

The next year, when we officially launched the network, it included 7 farms and about 250 families.

Of the 103 farms that make up the network today, 78 regularly deliver baskets to about 10,000 families. Our family farmers provide food to an estimated more than 26,000 people across Quebec!

Have you ever signed up for a basket? Then come celebrate with us
