Our farm is committed to producing high-quality, all-natural foods through regenerative agriculture. While we’re not certified organic—because, honestly, we’re not fans of the paperwork—we proudly avoid all chemicals in our food production.
Market Gardening
Guided by our mentor Jean-Martin Fortier, author of The Market Gardener, we use efficient, economically sustainable intensive farming techniques to grow fresh vegetables. These are sold locally through CSA baskets, at our farm, and in high-end restaurants around Montreal.
Permaculture
Permaculture, one of the first farming principles we embraced, emphasizes working with natural ecosystems and adopting a food-forest approach. By matching companion plants and observing cycles of wind, water, and soil indicators, we’ve cultivated incredible biodiversity. This has allowed us to start a nursery, grow thriving fruit trees and bushes, and ensure a sustainable food supply for the future.
All Natural Animal Care
At Valhalla Farms we impose no particular diet but we do realize animals play an incredibly important role in our ecosystem particularly when it comes to compost, soil health and establishing natural bacterial growth. It’s one of the many reasons we raise chickens and have been able to help fund the seasonal swings of a northern climate farm through our free-range chickens. They have played a huge role in restoring the farm from a GMO corn field into a thriving all natural paradise!
Beekeeping
No ecosystem thrives without pollinators, and bees undeniably wear the crown. Some of our dedicated producer members are passionate beekeepers who’ve nurtured a growing colony, helping our long-planted fruit trees flourish. The wildflowers, clover, and plants celebrate the bees’ tireless work—and we happily enjoy the sweet, natural honey they create!
