6 Farm-to-Table Restaurants in the Townships

Published on Jun 7, 2024

While not so long ago you had to cross the border to sample the delights of farm-to-table dining, there’s now a fine selection of these restaurants in the Townships. Spotlight on 6 of them!

By Marie-Claude Masse


Les Cocagnes

It’s only natural that Frelighsburg, considered to be one of the most beautiful villages in Québec, is the venue for a brilliant country-style table! Les Cocagnes, as well as being an agro-ecological collective farm, offers 18 ephemeral menus concocted by 21 guest chefs from all over Québec throughout the weekends from June 15 to September 29. What’s on the menu? A 5-course dinner featuring certified organic vegetables freshly harvested on the farm and other local products, plus a wine (or cider or beer!) and food pairing. All under a pergola, in a delightful setting! Psst! All profits go to fund the NPO formed by the Les Cocagnes farm!

33, Chemin de Dunham, Frelighsburg—online reservations


Espace Old Mill

Well-known organic vegetable grower Jean-Martin Fortier has established a solid reputation over the years. It’s not surprising to learn that the farm table at Espace Old Mill, with a menu featuring the culinary delights of his gardens, has been named one of the 10 best new restaurants in Canada in 2024! Here, talented chef Éric Gendron and his team sublimate terroir flavours and showcase the delicious products of Brome-Missisquoi’s gastronomic region. La table fermière offers a 4- or 7-course menu with wine pairings from Thursdays to Sundays starting at 5:30 p.m.

7, Chemin Caleb Tree, Stanbridge East—reservations recommended


Ferme Au pied levé

Here, not far from Magog, you’ll find Highland beef and calves, pigs, goats and kids, geese... E - I - E - I - O! The farm also grows the vegetables and herbs you’ll be eating! The Au pied levé farm is another magnificent venue with a country table that lives up to its name! And they do things in style, serving a 6-course gourmet menu in the evening and comforting breakfasts in the morning (don’t forget to bring your own wine!). Once you’ve had your fill, you can enjoy a stroll around the grounds and, why not, pet the adorable farm animals. For groups of 6 to 20 people.

1107, Fitch Bay Rd., Magog — 819 843–6143—Reservation required


Espace Hors Champs

Brand new and so beautiful! L’Espace Hors Champs, a vegetable farm in Austin, is finally opening its doors to the public, and in a very original way! From June 26 to August 29, a 3-course country-style meal will be served every Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. (bring your own wine!), and on Thursdays from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., you’ll be treated to a vegetable market and BBQ! Vincent, a passionate, globetrotting chef, creates innovative, tasty menus celebrating vegetables and other seasonal, local products. And what can we say about the beauty of this 6-acre playground, where you’ll be free to wander about?!

445, Chemin North, Austin—online reservations


Les Mal-Aimés

The farmhouse table Les Mal-Aimés has quickly established itself as a favourite with foodies who place a premium on local ingredients. You won’t find any olive oil or lemons here; the food is indeed more boreal and, very highly flavoursome. 7- or 10-course dinners (!), 4-course lunches and picnic baskets are available throughout the warmer months. And no matter which option you choose, on your plate you’ll find all the passion and talent of chefs Daniel Charbonneau and Yannick Côté, the latter of whom also runs the vegetable farm Le Jardinier déchaîné.

429, Route 253, Cookshire-Eaton—For reservations call 873 825-7125


Parcelles

Starting in June, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from midday to sunset, the famous wood-oven pizzas are back at Parcelles, a friendly vegetable farm that knows how to entertain and has a great list of natural wines to go with your pizza and fresh from the garden crudités! Take-Out orders or to enjoy in the fields (or inside a shelter on rainy days!). And don’t forget to visit their lush gardens!
