Herboristerie La Fée des Bois Botanicals

Herboristerie La Fée des Bois Botanicals

Mariane Desjardins Roy

The great adventure began in 2012. Following her studies in herbalism, Mariane finally acquired a farm in the Pontiac after quite a few property visits and a year of renting. The task was going to be difficult, being alone, and the farm being in a poor state; but what a beautiful dream! These were very good years of learning and clearing. Construction of the transformation building began in 2014 and took several years to complete. A whole panoply of woofers, friends, family members who came to help, some paid, others with a good heart. Crazy hours toiling away in gardens without machinery, without manpower, but also good shared meals and campfires under the stars.

Thousands of days at farmers markets and special events to build awareness and secure sales. Now, 10 years later, with a new little baby who has just arrived to brighten our days, I say thank you life for having offered me this journey, thank you life for allowing me to be in my elements accompanied by my little guy and thank you to all the people who follow us since the beginning or since yesterday; thank you, without you this path of life would not be possible! We want to create a better world, a world of tomorrow where children can breathe and eat healthy, prosper instead of surviving and know the true values of life: love, well-being, dreams.

Haico’s Hot Sauce

Haico’s Hot Sauce

Haico

Haico grew up in The Netherlands in a very multi-cultural environment. East Indian, Surinam, Indonesian and many others. This helped him to develop a taste for sophisticated spicy food at a young age. Once Haico moved to Canada he tried to find the same level of flavor and heat in the hot sauces and cooking in Canada, but to no avail. Disappointed, Haico decided to take over the world of hot sauce by growing his own peppers and making his own hot sauce.


The result of this endeavour is an ever growing number of hot sauces varying in spiciness from mild to wild. All peppers and most ingredients are home grown in Ottawa by Haico and his wife, Angela. Any ingredients that cannot be grown locally, due to the weather (like peaches) are purchased on local farmer’s markets whenever possible.


The result is a wide variety of hot sauces, all with their own distinct flavor palate and heat level. In other words, there is a flavor for every pepperhead or wannabe pepperhead out there! Even people that have never had a liking for hot sauces will be convinced and converted. Before embarking on this journey together, even Haico’s wife thought that ground black pepper on food was too spicy, but when cooking now, Haico’s Hot Sauce is a staple in every recipe!

Location:

Ottawa, ON, CA

Production Practices:

The peppers grown in Ottawa’s backyard vary from Hungarian Wax Peppers, Jalapeños and Mild Chilies on one side of the low-heat spectrum and on the other spicy-side there are Ghost Peppers, Scorpion Peppers, Habaneros and even Carolina Reapers (the current Guinness World Record holders for being the hottest pepper on the planet!)

Glengarry Maple

Glengarry Maple

Shirley Fulton-Deugo and Scott Deugo

Glengarry Maple is a family owned maple farm that takes pride in offering small batch, single forest maple syrup. Our forest, situated in Eastern Ontario, has fairly rocky but fertile soil. Much like a vineyard, a maple forest relies greatly on terroir, as well as the varietal of maple, to develop a maple syrup that is full-bodied and rich in flavor. Our mission is to produce high-quality maple syrup, while managing the bush in a responsible and sustainable way. Subsequently keeping this beautiful hardwood forest for future generations to use conscientiously and for those that call it home.

Firefly Meadows Farm

Firefly Meadows Farm

Michele and Gregg Parsons

We own a small, diversified farm situated between Eganville and Killaloe. The farm encompasses pastures, hayfields, a small market garden, wetlands and mixed species forest. Our livestock includes laying hens for farm-gate sales of eggs, organic meat birds for our own use, grass-fed, pastured Katahdin sheep for mild, lean, delicious meat, and a team of Belgian horses to help around the farm, especially in the winter. We enjoy showing visitors around the farm and discussing our farm practices.

Our farm kitchen is designed for the production of many loaves of sourdough bread, dozens of Scottish shortbread, chocolate brownies and lemon squares, among many offerings of baked goods. This is where we also create small batches of wild apple cider vinegar, garlic products, granola, and wildflower cordial.

Wood is sustainably harvested from our land and hand carved by Gregg to become functional, one of a kind, beautiful kitchen utensils such as spoons of all sizes, spatulas, and scoops.

Products:

 A wide assortment of vegetables, fresh sourdough bread and more delightful seasonal treats.
