In Saint-Siméon-de-Bonaventure, Ferme Bourdages Tradition, the largest producer of strawberries and sweet corn in Gaspésie, has been in the same family for seven generations. Benefit from all that know-how when you visit the farm and choose from a wide selection of tasty strawberry products, including home-made pies, delicious jams, fruit coulis and fresh berries, of course!

Northern berries from Côte-Nord

Cloudberries are an exotic cousin to raspberries that grow in the evergreen forests of Côte-Nord, in the Minganie and Lower North Shore areas. Rich in fibre and antioxidants, this sweet/tart berry can help regulate blood pressure. Pick your own cloudberries during your next adventure in Côte-Nord or purchase them from local producers. To find out more about these berries, be sure to visit the Maison de la Chicoutai (Cloudberry House) in Rivière-au-Tonnerre.
