OUR COOPERATIVE

Ferme Coop Point du Jour is a small solidarity cooperative located in Bury, in the Haut-Saint-François MRC of the Eastern Townships, specializing in the production of meat and eggs from animals raised on rotational pasture and fed non-GMO feed containing no animal by-products, antibiotics or hormones.

Its members, Dominique St-Arnaud, Christophe Berthias and Thomas Boisvert St-Arnaud, have extensive experience in complementary areas. They share a common passion for local organic agriculture, environment and cooperation.

We are proud members of the CAPÉ (Coopérative pour une agriculture de proximité écologique – a cooperative promoting local, ecological agriculture) since 2016.

Our fields and pastures have been certified organic by Ecocert since 2018.

 

OUR MISSION

  • To produce wholesome agricultural products that are of the highest quality and meet organic farming standards and agro-ecology principles;
  • To promote human-scale organic farming as a viable and sustainable food production system;
  • To forge links with local partners;
