Cidres Fleuri
In 2017, Julien Niquet (the entrepreneur behind the Glutenberg and Oshlag breweries) teamed up with sommelier Justine Therrien to start their own vineyard, and they set out to find the perfect piece of land. They finally nabbed an idyllic spot atop Frelighsburg’s fabled Joy Hill, in the Eastern Townships. The estate was dotted with 5,000 apple trees, and the duo saw it as a great opportunity: they would continue to plant grapes for their vineyard, Maison agricole Joy Hill, producing cider from the apples until the vines were mature enough to produce grapes. And voilà, Fleuri was born! Read More...
Today, Fleuri is an urban cidery in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve that has forged strong connections with orchards in Saint-Joseph-du-Lac and the Eastern Townships. Fleuri takes the greatest care to capture the taste of Quebec in its cans, bottles and casks.
Samuel Chevalier Savaria joined Fleuri in 2022. Samuel trained in viticulture and oenology and has worked in vineyards abroad. He’s running this project, taking great care to ensure quality and respect the apple growers’ work.
Racking is minimal, the ciders are never filtered, and secondary fermentation is done in the shipping container with the natural apple sugars. The ciders are always completely dry, with no residual sugar. This bold range is available in cans all year and is complemented by limited releases in cans, bottles and casks for ephemeral experiments that explore local possibilities with keen curiosity.

Les Filles fattoush

Working as a collective creates bonds, boosts self-esteem and benefits the women, their families and the local community. Les Filles Fattoush strongly believes in food as a core ingredient to building social connections and openness to others. The kitchen brings people together, and everyone benefits. Read More...

Missiska

Producing cheeses, milks and yogurts of exceptional quality, the farm takes the utmost care in every stage of production, from herd genetics to cheese making and farming practices.

Fruits and veggies galore
All summer long, local producers offer a wide variety of fruits and vegetables . . . and what a treat to fill our plates with them! One of the best ways to fully savour their freshness and benefit from all the vitamins and minerals they have to offer is to consume them raw. And to honour all the delicious products from here (and abroad), it’s important to store them the right way and know how to use everything, from stem to leaf!
Offering a wide variety of cheese made 100% from milk from Quebec cows, Guy and Lise are passionate, creative and ambitious. That’s what gives the rich and delicate taste that we find in their cheese. Renowned in Quebec and other countries, cheese from Lise and Guy is truly their pride and joy.
