Quebec's Eastern Townships, and particularly the North Hatley region, are renowned for their rich agricultural tradition. Tasting directly from the farm is an unmissable culinary experience for all epicureans visiting the region.

Local cheese dairies are particularly renowned, with establishments such as Domaine de Courval, Fromagerie La Station, Ferme Les Broussailles, Laiterie de Coaticook, Fromagerie-Abbaye-St-Benoit, Fromagerie Nouvelle-France and Fromagerie De La Gare. These cheese dairies offer a wide variety of cheeses, from aged cheddars to soft cheeses, all made from local milk.
Local bakeries, such as Marché Ferme Beaulieu and Les Vraies Richesses, offer artisan breads, pastries and savory pastries. Don't miss the maple syrup doughnuts, a local specialty, at Marché Ferme Beaulieu.

The region is also rich in organic farms, such as Le Potager d'Émylou, Ferme Sanders and Les Vallons maraîchers. These farms produce a variety of organic fruits and vegetables that you can buy directly on site. Ferme Wera in Lennoxville also offers pick-your-own vegetables. Sherbrooke's Marché de La Gare and Compton's Marché Public are great places to buy farm-fresh produce. And for a more immersive experience, visit the Bleuetière biologique des Étangs et Bleuets des Cantons to pick your own berries.

The region's sugar bushes, such as Érablière Gareau and Érablière Bélanger, are not to be missed during the sugaring-off season.

Boucherie Face de Boeuf offers top-quality meats, while Miel Pur Délice and Miellerie Lune de Miel offer a wide range of bee products.
