Collective gardens
Growing together, learning by gardening. A brand-new, fully redesigned site opens in 2027!
We grow food, transform it and share it across the neighbourhood: collective gardens, a greenhouse, hens, beehives, a solidarity kitchen and, soon, a market garden. La Fermette is a local food system built by and for Pointe-Saint-Charles.
La Fermette was born of a neighbourhood need: to create a food hub in the south of Pointe-Saint-Charles, an area considered a food desert.
La Fermette de Pointe-Saint-Charles is a community organization working at the heart of its local food network, putting in place solidarity-based actions that help reduce food insecurity and isolation.
Our mission and vision
Shared facilities that bring together every part of a local food system — from seed to plate.

Three pillars, one neighbourhood food system: from seed to plate, in the heart of Pointe-Saint-Charles.
Collective gardens, a greenhouse, a henhouse and beehives — and soon the Champ de la Pointe, a bio-intensive market garden.
In our MAPAQ-certified kitchen: low-cost meals, canning and cooking workshops, made from our harvests and rescued food.
A solidarity grocery, neighbourhood grocery stores, direct sales at the kitchen, a community fridge, local organizations, market stands and community BBQs.
Dishwashing, cooking, prep and packaging areas, plus a walk-in cooler and a walk-in freezer. For non-profits, collectives, school projects and micro-entrepreneurs.
Our members and volunteers are the lifeblood of the organization. Join us, or support our work with a donation.
