In<\/span> 1979, R\u00e9al Samson took over the family farm from his father. A few years later, his wife Nicole joined the enterprise. Since they strongly believe in protecting the environment, they chose to practice organic agriculture in 1989 and obtain their certification a few years later. Over the years, R\u00e9al and Nicole were able to convey their passion for agriculture to the rest of the family. Gabriel, one of their four children, took over the family business in 2010. Now co-owner with his father, Gabriel constantly innovates to improve the farm\u2019s productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Located in Farnham, <\/span>Ferme Samson et Fils<\/span><\/i> occupies an area of 275 acres, of which 60 acres are devoted to growing fruit and vegetables. A light and sandy soil as well as two large lakes facilitate irrigation, providing an ideal location for vegetable agriculture<\/span><\/p>\n

The potato, the enterprise\u2019s principal product, is cultivated on 35 acres and available nearly year-round. Other fruits and vegetables such as honeydew, watermelon, cantaloupe, winter squash, peppers and onions are harvested in late summer and in the fall. The refrigerated warehouse with a 150,000kg capacity improves the preservation of produce which is then sent to the distributors. The farm\u2019s products can be found in stores around Quebec, Ontario, and the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n
