The second Luskville farm hop was held last Saturday. Four farms on Chemin Cregheur opened themselves up to visitors to show the accessibility of sustainable lifestyles in the area.
The farms showed off their own goods and . . .
allowed local artisans to set up booths to sell their wares.
“It gives farmers the opportunity to get people to come and see what they have to offer, as it is not always easy for farmers to get attention,” said Renée Savoie owner of the Mountain View Farm and organizer of the farm hop.
Savoie highlighted the sustainable nature of her farm and products she sold, many of which were made from upcycled materials.
Rockface Ranch, which participated in the farm hop, specialized in natural grass-fed bison. Jason Jones said the farm hop is a good opportunity to sell his fully organic bison meat on his farm that is completely powered by solar panels.
“This was always my dream to run a farm like this, to see if it could be done,” said Jones, who was selling bison meat right from a store front on his property.
Vignobles Les Collines, a winery, also participated in the event and showcased the wine it produced.
Leystone Farms, the fourth farm featured on the farm hop is an organic farm that produces eggs, honey and maple syrup, among other products. Noemie Cote, a local landscape artist painted at the event.
The next farm hop is expected to be held next fall, however all four farms featured on the hop are open for business all year round and encourage people to visit the social media pages if they’re looking to purchase their products.
