Our Organic Herb Farm: A Journey of Wellness, Regeneration, and Stewardship

Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Charlevoix, Quebec, our organic herb farm is more than just a business; it’s a testament to our family’s love for the land and our deep commitment to sustainable farming practices. For over 35 years, our family has called this pristine area home, and in 2020, we embarked on an exciting new chapter: establishing an Organic farm focused on growing medicinal herbs that promote wellness. This decision wasn’t just about farming—it was about a lifestyle, a choice to nurture the earth, support our community, and contribute to a healthier future.

Our farm is rooted in the values of organic and regenerative agriculture, which prioritize the health of the land, plants, nature, and people. This approach allows us to create an environment where our plants can thrive naturally, without synthetic chemicals or fertilizers, while also improving the land’s fertility over time. We believe in giving back to the earth and in farming practices that restore the soil, enhance biodiversity, and support local ecosystems. This philosophy is at the heart of everything we do.

A Legacy of Stewardship

Our farm has deep roots in Charlevoix, a region known for its natural beauty and unspoiled landscapes. The area’s rugged terrain, rolling hills, and vibrant forests have shaped our family’s connection to the land for decades. My family has always been stewards of this land, but it wasn’t until 2020 that we decided to fully dedicate ourselves to farming, shifting our focus to growing organic medicinal herbs for wellness.

When we first started our farm, we saw it as an opportunity to reconnect with nature and spend more time outdoors, growing plants that would have a direct positive impact on people’s health. But it was also about honoring the region’s history and culture. Charlevoix is a place where community and nature come together in a harmonious blend, and we wanted to contribute to that in our own way—by producing high-quality herbs that people could rely on for their wellness.

Our decision to start an Organic medicinal herb farm was a natural extension of the values our family has held for generations. We have always believed in sustainable living, and the decision to incorporate regenerative farming practices was simply the next step in deepening our commitment to the earth. By growing medicinal herbs, we saw a way to provide people with natural remedies that could support their overall health while taking care of the land that sustains us.

A Focus on Regenerative Farming

At the heart of our farm is the principle of regenerative agriculture—a method of farming that works with nature to restore and improve the land. Regenerative farming goes beyond sustainability; it actively seeks to regenerate the soil and enhance biodiversity through techniques like crop rotation, composting, and minimal tillage.

For us, regenerative farming means that we don’t just focus on the health of our crops, but on the health of the entire ecosystem. Healthy soil is the foundation of everything we do, and we take great care to ensure that our farming practices enhance rather than deplete it. We avoid using any synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, opting instead for organic methods that allow our herbs to flourish in their natural environment.

The benefits of regenerative farming extend beyond just the land. By focusing on soil health, we’re able to grow herbs that are rich in nutrients, potent in their medicinal properties, and full of the vitality that comes from a healthy, thriving ecosystem. Our herbs are grown in an environment that prioritizes biodiversity, supporting a range of plants, animals and beneficial insects that work together in harmony. This results in crops that are not only good for the earth but also for the people who use them.

Growing Medicinal Herbs for Wellness

Medicinal herbs have been used for centuries to support health and well-being, and we are proud to be part of this long tradition. Our farm specializes in growing a variety of herbs that are known for their therapeutic properties. From soothing chamomile to energizing peppermint and restorative echinacea, each plant we grow is carefully nurtured to ensure it reaches its full potential.

We believe that nature has provided us with powerful remedies, and our goal is to help people connect with these natural healing properties. Our herbs are grown with care, harvested at their peak potency, and dried or processed to preserve their medicinal qualities. Whether they’re used in teas, tinctures, or essential oils, our herbs provide a natural way to support wellness and promote balance in the body and mind.

In addition to the traditional medicinal herbs, we also grow a selection of lesser-known plants with unique healing properties. Each herb is chosen for its ability to support different aspects of health, from boosting immunity and reducing stress to aiding digestion and supporting skin health. We take pride in offering a wide variety of herbs, each with its own set of benefits, and we enjoy educating our customers about how to incorporate them into their daily wellness routines.

A Growing Family and a Growing Farm

When we first started the farm in 2020, it was just the two of us, but now, our family has grown with the arrival of our two children. Having children has brought a new dimension to our farm life, and we’re excited to share the beauty and wonder of farming with them. The farm has become a place where they can run freely, explore, and develop a deep connection to the earth—a gift we hope they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

As a family, the farm is a true labor of love. From planting and tending to the herbs to harvesting and packaging, every task is done with care and intention. The work can be demanding, but it is also incredibly rewarding. We take pride in the fact that we are able to provide our community with products that support wellness and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable way of life.

The farm has deepened our appreciation for nature, and reaffirmed our belief in the importance of regenerative farming practices. It brings us immense joy and fulfillment every day, and we feel incredibly fortunate to be able to share it with others.

A Part of the Charlevoix Community

Our farm is not just about growing herbs—it’s about being part of the fabric of the Charlevoix community. From the beginning, we wanted to create a farm that was not only sustainable and organic but also deeply integrated into the region. Charlevoix is a place with a strong agricultural tradition, and we are proud to be part of that history.

We love participating in local markets, sharing our products with our neighbors, and learning from other farmers and artisans in the area. It’s an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about sustainability, wellness, and supporting local businesses. Being part of the Charlevoix community has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and we are grateful for the support we’ve received from the people here.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, we are excited about the possibilities for our farm. We plan to expand our offerings, grow more varieties of herbs, and continue refining our regenerative farming practices. Our dream is to build a thriving, sustainable farm that not only provides high-quality herbs for wellness but also contributes to the health of the land and the local community.

Our organic herb farm is a place of growth—both for the plants we cultivate and for our family. It’s a journey of wellness, stewardship, and connection to the land. And as we continue on this path, we are excited to see where it will take us, knowing that every step we take is guided by our love for the earth and our commitment to creating a healthier, more sustainable world.

The Farm

Quebec is not the most hospitable place to start a farm. The winters are cold and long. But we think it is one of the most nourishing places on the planet. Its thousands of miles of continuous forests mean it has some of the cleanest air in the world, it has abundant water and in our little corner where our farm sits, it has unsurpassed beauty with its views of the St. Lawrence River.

We started La Ferme À Ciel to regenerate soil and to explore what healthy soil practices can do for a piece of land. As Mike explored the relationships behind letting nature do its thing the connection between healthy soil healthy plants and healthy people became clear.
