The closer we get to summer, the closer we get to the Quebec berry season! Every year, juicy red strawberries are sprouting in the fields by mid-June. Then, in early July, come raspberries and blueberries, which follow in mid-July.

There are so many recipes to be made with our Quebec strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. And, let’s face it, they’re even better when we’ve picked ourselves these tasty little fruits😊!

Our fields of Sainte Brigitte des Saults and Saint Cyrille de Wendover are ready to welcome you! Drop by the Les Cultures de chez nous Facebook page to learn about berry availability and pick-your-own schedules.

Tiramisu, the Italian-inspired pleasure

Ah, tiramisu! We love this traditional Italian dessert.
