When it comes to carrots, our business model is different than most of the other growers in Quebec. Our harvest is intended for the hotel, restaurant and institutional market—that means we grow a wider variety of carrots, with a better, sweeter taste.

The yellow onion has been cultivated for over 5,000 years, and is still used around the world today. A member of the allium family, its yellow, papery skin covers a crisp, juicy bulb. Its flesh is usually served cooked. Sold year round, the yellow onion stores well.

Red onions are perfect for adding colour and zest to your meals. Whether you’re topping a burger with thin slices, or grilling it alongside your sausages, this onion is tasty both cooked and raw. Less common than the white onion or yellow onion, it’s slightly sweeter and has a milder taste. It’s the perfect onion for salads and veggie platters.

Beets are best known for their root, which is round or oblong, and generally deep red in colour. Its eye-catching hue comes from betanin, a natural colorant.
