In the fields of Chanv

A plant with one-thousand-and-one virtues, an ideal climate, and enthusiastic artisans: that’s all that was needed to bring Chanv, a growing local business, to light. The Quebec business first came to be in 2004 in Knowlton, in the Eastern Townships, before getting a second wind in 2017, when it was acquired by Dany Lefebvre and Marie-Ève Parenteau.

Merveilles d’abeilles

With their 400 hives, Jonathan, Carmen and their daughter produce honey with exquisite flavours and natural benefits. Every day at Saint-Didace in the Lanaudière region, they take care of their bees and harvest the honey that we’re all grateful for. Read More...

For Jonathan and Carmen, practicing family farming that is respectful of the environment is at the heart of their mission. Their bee colonies are sedentary: they are never moved with a view to commercial colonisation. The apiaries at Merveilles d’abeilles are ecological, insecticide-free and use a large variety of florals such as pastures (hay, clover, alfalfa), buckwheat and milkweed. With the greatest respect for the bees’ ecosystem, Jonathan and Carmen uncap their honey by hand, with cold extraction. This honey is neither filtered nor pasteurized, which renders a delicious nectar that contains more pollens, propolis and was than commercial honey. As good for our tastebuds as for our health!
