''The environment is at the heart of all my decisions. This is not a question for my generation: we will be directly impacted by phenomena related to biodiversity loss and global warming. Farmers are the guardians of the land and I intend to assume this role with pride.

One of my main management skills is to make sure I have a good team around me. I believe that my partnership with the cooperative to share equipment is the prime example of this and is at the heart of the profitability of my orchard and my farm business. 

Increased consumer interest in fine spirits, locally produced, is transforming opportunities and opening new doors for apple growers in Eastern Quebec. The fermentation industry is soaring, continuing the exciting growth experienced by Quebec microbreweries, distilleries, and vineyards''.
