Roots and Shoots Farm

Robin Turner & Jess Weatherhead

Ferme Roots and Shoots has been growing delicious, nutrient-rich, certified organic veggies since 2010. Jess and Robin started out on rented land in Manotick Station. Since then we’ve grown from 60 Community Supported Agriculture (veggie box) members in our first year to 400 in 2022. In 2015 we purchased the ol’ Nesbitt Farm in La Pêche, minutes from P19 in Gatineau Park. We now serve veggie baskets to over 500 families through our Summer, Fall and Winter organic basket program. We also offer a variety of seasonal flowers and host events throughout the summer to bring the community together and share this beautiful land.

We believe in fostering a sustainable future for our region, and creating long-term local employment to build local-food capacity in our area.
