Ferme Bourdages since 1821



200 Years of History
The Bourdages family has been rooted in its land for 200 years now. It represents several generations of passionate farmers/processors. Over the years, it has developed a magnificent agritourism company focusing mainly on strawberries and several other bio-food products.
Specializing in strawberry cultivation and processing for more than 30 years, the company offers visitors an authentic Gaspesian experience that combines discoveries, flavours and pleasures.
This year, we want to highlight the richness of our heritage and promote our fresh and processed products as well as offer an authentic Gaspé experience to all our visitors.

LE PETIT MAS: Innovative Agribusiness of Fermented Garlic Scapes

Le Petit Mas has been an organic Quebec-grown garlic producer in the Eastern Townships of the “Music” variety since 1989. Its garlic stands out for its long-lasting freshness, bold taste and great appearance.
Its flagship product, fermented garlic scapes, makes cooking easier. This product lacks the pungency of garlic cloves. For garlic lovers, fermented garlic scapes do not replace garlic cloves, but are an interesting alternative for when you don’t want “garlic breath” or when you want to add a delicate garlic flavour to food. For example, garlic scape butter will be much easier to digest than traditional garlic butter and will not mask the taste of lobster or scampi. Fermented garlic scapes are a seasoning in its own right, one which will please all who love the taste of garlic, and even those who don’t.
A PASSION
In 2013, Marie-Pierre Dubeau and Sébastien Grandmont, a couple in life and in business, took over the family farm from Christiane Massé, who founded Le Petit Mas. Since the acquisition, they have more than doubled the surface area of organic cultivation of Quebec-grown garlic. They are determined to put the Petit Mas garlic and fermented garlic scapes on the restaurant menus and on the family tables of all Quebecers!

EASY RECIPES YOU MUST TRY

Organic Farms and Restaurants: Trendy Partnerships
By being a little bit attentive, we can notice an increase of various Quebec organic products on the menus of some restaurants, all over Quebec.
More and more chefs are interested in the benefits that local organic products can bring to their cuisine. This growing interest is mainly related to the flavour and freshness of these products, but also to the nutritional quality of the dishes that these chefs concoct with finesse.
There is no doubt that forging restaurant supply partnerships directly with farms that offer organic produce from here is gaining popular favour. These partnerships are seen as gestures of solidarity that benefit our communities and are part of our collective wealth.

Local collaborations can be multiple. Whether it is a catering service for businesses or institutions (schools, daycares, hospitals and others), a bed and breakfast or an inn, the possibilities of partnership with farms and agro-processors of local organic products are limitless.
To name a few examples of interesting local organic partnerships in Quebec, we can mention the Auberge-resto des Appalaches in Montérégie with on the menu: organic sea buckthorns from Les Argousiers du Lac-Brome farm, organic vegetables from the Jardins du Pied de Céleri cooperative and organic wines from Les Pervenches vineyard.
We should also mention Leblanc Traiteur in the Laurentians with a menu made up of organic fruit and vegetables from Les Jardins de la Pinède farm, the Coureurs des Champs caterer in Mauricie with its eco-responsible, organic and local menu available in dining room and lunch boxes format, as well as the microbrewery Le Bien le Malt in Lower St. Lawrence with its organic pork dry sausages from the Fou du cochon processor.
Gourmet lunch boxes with organic from here: the idea that goes a step further!
In these rather uncertain economic times for good dining deals, the option of gourmet lunch boxes enriched with local organic products to take away would certainly offer added value to customers.
Everything seems to indicate that such an initiative would appeal to consumers concerned about their health and the environment.
