La Ferme de la colline du chêne

We are La Ferme de la Colline du Chêne, a solidarity Coop that was founded in 2009 – in Bromont – by a group of 4 families who wanted to contribute to local, sustainable, and organic agriculture by providing free access to their land for the next generation of young farmers.

What does “Solidarity Cooperative” mean ?

This model is characterized by the diversity of its categories of members who collaborate together in the achievement of the Coop’s goals and projects. At our farm, the farmers are the ‘working members’ who orchestrate all the farming activities. The founding members of the Coop are the ‘support members’, they volunteer every week to support the activities of the farmers. This rich and valuable collaboration contributes to the realization of many projects.

For more than 14 years now, the Coop produces – in fields and greenhouses – 50 varieties of certified organic vegetables, available through summer basket subscriptions, at our self-service kiosk and in many local grocery stores and restaurants.

Today, it’s us : Martine, Frédérique and Virg, a cool group of both friends, coworkers and farmers – who lead the farm while contributing to a strong local, organic and sustainable small-scale farming.
