Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Québec? Farms are open and safe! Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Québec,
sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name
(see "What does Organic mean?").
The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for
a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this
page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined;
click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or
inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
New!
Pricing information - I am building a pricing guide to help you know what
the typical prices are for each crop.
Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook
page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or
Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally
overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with
the farm directly before you go!
And if you know of any farms I missed and want to
add a farm, please let me know!
I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find
anything out-of-date, wrong or not working -
please let me know! This website is supported by purchases you make
through the links to products on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I earn

What's in season in March 2021, and
other timely information:
Notes for March 2021: Crop growth is slowing down, except for
Christmas tree farms and if you live in southern California, southern Texas, Florida or
along the Gulf coast where citrus are ripe, and believe it or not, the blueberry
and strawberry season in those areas is about to begin. See your state harvest calendar
. This year, much of the country is still seeing mild weather, so lettuce, peas, broccoli, cabbage and other greens are thriving. And this is a good time to
get a canner and learn how to preserve foods for the winter,
like canning some applesauce, apple butter or
jam, which make great gifts. As do your own homemade specialty liqueurs!
How about homemade cranberry sauce or a pumpkin pie made from a
real pumpkin for the holidays? See our comprehensive list of
easy
home canning, jam and jelly
making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access
recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search.
A fun winter activity is to
make your own ice cream,
even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. If you have any questions or suggestions,
feel free to write me!

MIRACLE FARMS is a members only u-pick farm. Only members can come pick
fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers or order meats. We try to also have
some items (non-meat) for sale in a small kiosk, especially for open days.
If you are in a hurry, not a member or just passing by you can buy some of
the foods picked at double the u-pick price. It's a great way to try before
you join. Here's how the membership works : A basic fee of $60 (as of August
2018) entitles you to: $20 voucher to be used for any food in the year. at
least one food or non-food item for free during every open day. 1 free tour
for 2 adults (a $60 value, free for children under 18). Tours are on the
first Saturday of every month at 10 am in French and 2 pm in English. You
can attend our open days to come relax at the farm, have a picnic, read a
book, take a walk, have a nap, meet amazing people who care about the food
they eat or pick whatever is available that day. You don't need to buy
anything during open days. We try to have something free at every open day
for members, whatever we have in abundance. Last year that included small
fruit, chives, garlic chives, flowers and herbs at different times of the
growing season. Two years ago we had such abundance that we gave members 160
pounds of apples and lots of free produce, including chives and rhubarb. You
can also pre-order chicken and duck meat that is raised in the orchard.
Order now and pick up the meats in the fall (september and October). Note
that meat pre-orders are provided on a first-come first-serve basis.(ADDED:
