Garland Sugar Shack

Ivan & Jocelyne Garland

“I pestered my dad until he gave in and we finally tapped a stand of maple trees,” says Ivan Garland. Thirty years later, Ivan, his wife Jocelyne and their children have transformed a childhood hobby into a thriving maple syrup business. Originally a dairy farm, this third generation family enterprise survives on cash crops and maple products today. Ivan and Jocelyne are particularly pleased to see a fourth generation of Garlands embracing the daily challenge, innovation and adaptation their family farm demands.

Ferme et Forêt

Sean Butler & Geneviève LeGal-Leblanc

Ferme et Forêt is an ecological farm and wild foods enterprise nestled in the Gatineau Hills just north of Ottawa/Gatineau. French meets English in our region, as hills meet valley, and arable fields meet temperate hardwood forests. Ferme et Forêt blurs this line between the cultivated and the wild. We harvest and sell juicy wild plums, forest growing mushrooms, golden maple syrup, and more. Sometimes we plant wild species; sometimes we give wild species already growing a helping hand; sometimes we let a domesticated plant run a little wild. Always we partner with nature to reap the best tastes and highest nutrition, and pass this bounty along to our local community.

Products:	Eggs, maple syrup, maple butter, wild foods, wild herbal teas, wild apple cider, shiitake mushrooms, granola, garlic, asparagus, black raspberries, red currants, and elderberry syrup
Location:	225 Chemin Shouldice, Wakefield, QC, J0X 3G0
Production Practices:	Organic (uncertified), biodynamic, permaculture
Buy & Savour:	Wakefield Market, farm gate, online store, Marché de l’Outaouais

Dobson’s Grassfed Beef

Bob Dobson

Bob Dobson’s cattle are raised outside in the open air of pasture in summer or behind natural wind blocks created by trees in the winter. They enjoy excellent quality of pasture and hay-forage from farm fields that have been in the family for over 150 years.
The cattle are never treated with antibiotics or hormones and are never fed grain during any part of their life. Bob believes in creating a healthy ecosystem on his farm – keeping spaces for wildlife such as birds and maintaining healthy waterways ensure happy and healthy cattle as well as preserving a more natural environment.

Dobson’s Grassfed beef is tender, has a host of health benefits, and flavour that can’t be beat. The farm also offers raspberries and elderberry products.
