Come tour the Plante family’s organic strawberry farm on Île d’Orléans.
Upstream the St. Lawrence River on the south-side of the sun-kissed Île d’Orléans, you’ll find the Plante family perfecting their berry-growing craft since the 19th century. Today, Jean-Julien (the fourth generation of Plante farmers) and his wife are leading the charge into organic farming, having ditched synthetic pesticides back in 2015 to create a safer playground for their kids. Over the past couple years, they’ve re-introduced themselves to the land, embracing its unique environment and natural biocontrols to grow the freshest strawberries in town.
Every two days, their team of 30 handpicks the berries at their peak, delivering them to your baskets within 24 to 48 hours for that freshly harvested taste! Watch the video below to stroll through their farm and meet the family behind Quebec’s favourite strawbs.
