Philippe and Nancy met in 1998, during their agronomy degree. For several years, they poured their passion into their land, before founding Courges & Cie in 2012. Today, the company grows over 200 varieties of squash and pumpkins, along with a wide range of other farm products. Their wish? To connect people with the world of agriculture by showing them the realities of vegetable and fruit farming.
U-Pick ($) — pick your own squash and pumpkins. Includes access to the play structures, mini-farm and outdoor areas.
Tastings ($) — sample seasonal products, like pumpkin donuts or strawberry slush.
Discovery Trail — explore the ÉCONOMUSÉE® and its indoor and outdoor interpretive trail at your own pace, and learn everything about squash and pumpkin farming.
Picnic Area — weather permitting, grab something from the farm bistro and enjoy it outdoors.
Whether it's a sudden craving or dishes to take home, the farm bistro and shop have plenty to please:
• Fresh fruits and vegetables: squash, pumpkins, tomatoes, peppers and ground cherries
• Homemade dishes: soups, poutine, pizza, lasagna, meat pie
• Jams, pickles, sauces and relish
• Pastries and treats: donuts, pies, bread, cookies
• Local products, like honey, maple syrup, cranberries, cider and beer
