Ferme Ouellete has a long history. First established in 1852 by the Mather family, Patrick and Caroline Ouellette purchased the Century Farm in 2002, and immediately began setting down roots.
Patrick and Caroline believe strongly that traditional farming is the best way to do business – best for humans, best for animals, and best for the environment. Caroline, who comes from a long line of farmers, credits her mother and grandmother with instilling in her a deep understanding and respect for nature that is reflected in everything she does. Patrick’s niche is his horses. He readily admits he would rather work with his team than on his tractor and says he finds peace and quiet in the sound of their breathing. Patrick’s respect and fondness for his horses can work magic and the horses always respond and reciprocate.
The love and dedication Caroline and Patrick put in everything they do is evident to anyone who visits Ferme Ouellette Farm. They sell at the Farmgate on Saturday and Sunday, 10 AM to 5 PM April to December.
