Les Hôtes Épinettes adopts the community-supported agriculture model. Community-supported agriculture is founded through a farm-citizen partnership that connects consumers to the land, supports the local economy and ensures that farmers receive a decent income. It is a formula where the local, ecological farm’s partners buy a share of the harvest at the beginning of the season in exchange for baskets of varied, fresh products. Community supported agriculture fulfills our family vision of small-scale farming and minimizing our ecological footprint wherever we can.
