our values
responsabilities
Responsible farming
We have an obligation to meet our environmental and community responsibilities as a determining factor in our farm operations. As an agricultural business, we aim to minimize our environmental footprint through our environmentally responsible practices and our willingness to optimize our techniques in that direction.
quality
Rigorous quality, all year long
We offer products of the highest quality, 365 days a year. The hyper-controlled environment of our installation ensures a fresh and delicious product at each harvest.
proximity
From the farm to the plate
We are actively participating in the change towards equitable access to fresh, healthy and local products for our regional community. Our availability as producers allows us to establish and maintain a relationship of trust with our customers.
family
From our family to yours
Our family business symbolizes a way of life more than a profession. We invest our family in this duty to cultivate and provide fresh, healthy and delicious products to the families in our community. We favour a small-scale culture in order to commit to the quality of our products and our personalized service, while preserving our family life moments.
our story
We are Mélanie and Danny, a solid and supportive couple and parents of two wonderful children (Lou: 5 years and Lemmy: 18 months). We have made the decision to leave our careers and our urban Montreal life behind and move our little family to Stanbridge East in the beautiful Brome-Missisquoi region.
mélanie
I’m outgoing and friendly by nature. I worked in restoration for many years while I was studying fine arts. After several years of self-employment, I reoriented myself in early childhood education. After 10 years working in the same CPE, I felt ready to take on new challenges. I have always loved agriculture, horticulture and nature with all that it entails. I am passionate about everything that is alive, the fauna, the flora, the humans – big and small. I now feel the need to work with soil, water and vegetation.
danny
I’m reserved and Cartesian. I worked for more than 15 years in the field of digital creation, where I held several positions ranging from motion designer to corporate administrative management. In 2015, while I was administrative director and associate for a booming creative studio, I made the decision to leave the company and take a professional break to take stock. It was during this break that I felt a strong desire to get back to basics and put my strengths to work to meet a fundamental need that has long fascinated me: food.

our installation
Our farm is inspired by urban agriculture initiatives. These facilities are based on a vertical cultivation in order to maximize production space. In response to the environmental issues of our time, these production techniques are now expanding into the peri-urban environments of metropolitan areas.

Limited surface area
Our facility occupies a space of only 320 square feet. We maximize production space while ensuring optimal conditions for increased productivity and consistency in the quality of our microgreens.
A year round production
With a production capacity of 280 trays per month, our farm allows us to cultivate a healthy and delicious product all year long.
Low water consumption
Our farm uses a very small amount of water since it is contained within the trays keeping the soil moist for a long period of time. Moreover, we take care to analyze our water regularly to avoid any alteration to the growth or quality of our product.
Low electricity consumption
We use energy-efficient LED lighting that promotes the growth and vitality of our product. In addition, our small surface area allows us to reduce our energy consumption for heating and air conditioning.
