It's strawberry time
Ah, mid-June! It's not only the time to celebrate the official arrival of summer, but also the arrival of berries. The first to appear, to our delight: strawberries!
The love for this red fruit in Quebec is undeniable. And, in the Haut-Richelieu region, we're fortunate to have several producers. It's a true paradise for those who love fresh fruit. What's more satisfying than biting into a freshly picked strawberry, bursting with sugar and flavor?
Here, we're not afraid to get dirty while picking our fruit. We head out into the fields as a family, searching for the most beautiful berries. Enjoy this fun and delicious activity.
At the source
Many of our local producers are true pioneers. These include Fraises Louis Hébert , which made its mark on the history of self-picking in Quebec, or Vergers et cidrerie Denis Charbonneau and Ferme Reid , other must-sees in the region where the atmosphere is always lively.
Make your harvest a gourmet getaway! Most local producers offer entertainment, whether it's play structures for children, animals, or picnic tables to enjoy your harvest.
That's not all
After strawberries, indulge in the blueberry craze and the sweetness of raspberries! A few weeks later, these little blue and red treasures invade our fields, ready to be picked. Blueberry picking is a real treasure hunt where each little berry is a sweet discovery. As for raspberries, they offer an explosion of flavor with every bite, perfect for enhancing your summer desserts or simply enjoying them on the spot.
Picking your own fruit directly from our local producers is more than just an activity: it's an immersion in the expertise of our farmers. It's also an opportunity to share precious moments with family and support the local economy.
Being here, now… in our corner of paradise, the flavors are authentic, and the memories unforgettable.
