Traveling to a European Christmas village filled with traditional baked treats, handmade goodies and Santa himself is not in the cards for most of us.

Belle the Farm Elf doesn’t just sit on a shelf. Edelweiss Farms puts her to work.

Many of life’s most memorable meals are served over the Christmas season.

My great-grandparents, Charles and Marie Labrie, arrived here in the late 1890s and began Ferme Charluson Inc., located in Saint-Cyprien, part of the Lower Saint Lawrence region of Quebec, in 1901.

Two years ago, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Marie-Claude Bibeau announced $1.75 billion would be provided to compensate Canadian dairy farmers for the market access concessions made under the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), but it left out a large segment of the dairy supply chain.

The Group Fleur de Lys Inc. started its activities in 2014. I am the owner, thanks to the support of my father, André Dubuc, and my mother, Johanne Roy.
