La Ferme Cooperative aux Champs qui Chantent

Dernière mise à jour : 6 déc. 2021

Brownsburg, QC


In 2008, Jenna Jacobs moved to Quebec to do a PhD in Forest Ecology at UQUAM while Eby Heller obtained a B.Sc in Agriculture and Environment and a M.Sc in Geography at McGill. Four years later, Jenna Jacobs and Eby Heller combined their skills and knowledge to create a successful cooperative farm called La Ferme Cooperative aux Champs qui Chantent.

The farm, located in Brownsburg-Chatham, is a 114 acre mixed cedar and hardwood lot with the remaining areas of land are pastures divided by treelines. The farm cultivates 5 acres of vegetables each season from this clay-loam soil and replenishes the land through long crop rotations between productive seasons. The farm delivers fresh produce, which includes vegetables, fruit, eggs, kale, and cut flowers, to Lachute and Montreal on a weekly basis.

Emma Tarbush volunteered for the farm by helping out with the distribution of CSA baskets at La Maison de L'Amitié in the Plateau and this is when/where they met Jenna Jacobs. Emma and Jenna have kept in touch ever since.
