Our expertise
- Since 2010, the Little Red Wagon Winery has been growing their own grapes. This family winery attracts vacationers with its enchanting location, its white, red, and rosé wines, its event hall, and its gourmet restaurant.
- There are a number of small farmers’ markets in the Pontiac region. R and R Farms in Clarendon has a fresh vegetable stand that is open Saturday mornings from mid-May to mid-October.
- La fée des bois Apothecary grows—in an environmentally friendly manner in fields or in the forest—plants that it sells or uses to create products. It is in its plant sanctuary—a large, 70-acre area with two small streams that run through it, surrounded by ancient forests—that it gathers all it needs to create its products.
