U-pick activities and opportunities to meet local producers and businesses
Québec is full of outings and agrotourism activities that naturally showcase local foods. Discover them!
Visit a pick-your-own farm and stock up on seasonal foods: blueberries, pumpkins, squash, strawberries, beans, corn, apples, potatoes, and more. Bring home large quantities of fruits and vegetables, then freeze them to enjoy year-round. Pssst: Why not organize a fun contest to see who picks the biggest squash or fills their basket the fastest?
Discover local expertise: bakers, chocolatiers, pastry chefs, beekeepers (honey), coffee roasters, brewers, distillers, maple producers, winemakers, and more! Visit them, learn from them, invite them—and above all, enjoy their products!
