What a pleasure to welcome you!
Open days are a festive time at the farm where we offer free activities for the whole family. It's a wonderful introduction to the world of herbalism, organic farming, the importance of biodiversity, health through plants, and gardening, among other things, all while enjoying the pleasure of immersing yourself in plants and nature.
In addition to offering free flash workshops and a farm tour, we invite healthcare professionals to join us for themed workshops on holistic health. These workshops are sometimes paid, sometimes free. Some are aimed at the whole family and are highly interactive, while others are more theoretical. You can also take advantage of the opportunity to receive on-site care from these healthcare professionals: massage, osteopathic treatment, herbal and naturopathic consultations, etc.

✿ Important: Check your route before coming. GPS directions are not always reliable. From Route 303, we strongly recommend taking the 12th Concession instead of the 13th, as suggested by some GPS devices.
✿ Open House Days are specially designed to welcome families. Most activities are family-friendly and include children. For safety reasons, we ask that children 12 and under be accompanied at all times. Thank you for your understanding and for respecting the rules. We have bees, a beaver pond, animals, and cultivated gardens: all wonderful discoveries for little ones, but which also present some risks without supervision.
