Ottawa Valley Grain Products

In 1929, Nat Lindsay, founder of Ottawa Valley Grain Products (OVGP), purchased a small flour mill in Renfrew, Ontario. Within a few years, he turned to registered seed sales, split pea processing and feed manufacturing in response to the changing demands of local farmers.

It wasn’t long before OVGP acquired a large flour mill from Renfrew Industries, which was then converted to processing pot barley and seed grain. In 1942, OVGP acquired another mill in Shawville, Québec, followed by an outlet in Beachburg, Ontario in 1945. As part of the company’s expansion in the 1960s and 1970s, OVGP acquired a feed mill in Cobden, as well as the current-day mill location in Carp, which was originally the site of a flour mill that dates back all the way to 1827.

Today, OVGP proudly remains a family-owned and operated business in its fourth generation, and continues to stone mill all-natural, high-quality whole grain products right here in the Ottawa Valley. OVGP is proud to have contributed to the local economy for nearly 90 years, and remains committed to supporting the local agricultural ecosystem through the purchase of its products directly from farmers in the Ottawa Valley and surrounding area.

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.
