Which places are we going to visit?
Ferme François Gosselin is a leading producer of berries, including incomparable strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. You’ll taste strawberries while discovering the realities of a medium-sized family farm, as well as the contribution of the Hispanic workforce present for 14 years.
Ferme la Bunker / Alain Plante is also a 5th-generation family farm producing a wide variety of squash, pumpkins, maple products, corn, beets and more. The site is also home to a Cold War anti-nuclear bunker built in 1964. In the midst of a generational transition, several innovations are underway.
We’ll end the tour at the island’s highest point: the terrace of the Motel Île d’Orléans – where you’ll sample even more of this amazing island’s unique products, including black garlic, blackcurrant jam, 2 cheeses, wine and beer, all with a panoramic view of Quebec City and the St. Lawrence River. All the while discussing the history of the island and the region.
