Would you like to show your children where their food comes from?
Are you curious to see what a farm looks like up close?
Or maybe you are just looking for a nice way to spend time with family and friends.
On Sunday, September 7, farms across Quebec are opening their doors to members of the public. A delightful activity for young and old.
Farm Open House Day, an activity organized by the Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA), gives you a chance to visit a farm in your region. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine, a hundred or so farms will open their doors for this free event.
Four organic farms from our family farmer network are taking part:
- Les Jardins Bio du Solstice, Mont-Laurier, Laurentides
- Aux Jardins de la Bergère, St-Damien, Lanaudière
- Vallon des Sources, Ripon, Outaouais
- Ferme Croque-Saisons, Lingwick, Eastern Townships
As part of the event, an agricultural festival will be held in Montreal at parc Jean-Drapeau to demystify the world of farming:
- corn roast
- meetings with farmers
- games and entertainment for children
- farm animals and farm machinery on display
- an Equiterre information booth presenting our organic baskets and family farmer network
It's a date! See you Sunday, September 7 at one of the participating farms or at parc Jean-Drapeau!
