Holiday Farm Hop
November 1, 2025 - November 2, 2025    
10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Come join us for the next Farm Hop which will be on November 1st and 2nd, 2025 from 10am to 3pm in the Chemin Cregheur area of Luskville, Quebec. This is a FREE event. The Farm Hop was born out of a desire to share our farms and sustainable practices with our local community. The first of its kind in the area, we are hoping it will be embraced and loved for providing original, quality handmade wares and art, and further peoples knowledge on wellness and sustainability. I hope you can make it out support your local community! Five farms and a vineyard will be participating and each farm has animals to see and will have their wares on offer as well as hosting other artisans (The artisans will be posted under each host). There are also Gatineau Park trails along Cregheur for some great hiking. More info can be found at www.luskville.farm-hop.com. NOTE: Please do not bring your dog(s) onto any of the farm properties.
