About Us
In 2000, my husband had been a business man for 15 years. We were stressed, living in Montreal, far away from the countryside. Our daughter was 2. That same year, we decided to retire from this kind of life. Nicolas went back to his favorite activity: energetic therapy. But still, something very important was missing. We were having a beautiful dream but we were waiting to get retired to try to realise it. One day, my daughter asked Nicolas if we could get her a horse. And that was it ! After several months, we finally bought a farm. My mother came to live with us. Such a wonderful place, in the bush but...no electricity ! The first 2 years, I remember my mother and I cooking jellies using oil lamps at night because during the day we were outside cutting wood. After those years, we got solar energy. Much easier life but more and more busy gardening and preparing jars and jars. Every day, when we wake up, we have this feeling that we are dreaming. We realised our dream of living with nature, eating healthy food and being in shape as never before. We enjoy watching our daughter riding her horse and often we thank her having been so wise.

Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
At El Camino Farm, all the work is done by hand. We have helpers all year around who come from Canada, United States, Europe, Africa and even far as Singapoor ! They come to get energetic therapy, to work physically (sometimes like they never did before) and to eat garden vegetables that they grow. Some people stay 2 weeks, some stay 6 months. Growing natural vegetables need a huge amount of work. We could not have all those products if they would not help us. For 2 years now we have been inspected by the Health Unit of the Agriculture Ministry, now we are building a commercial kitchen. We need that new kitchen only because we are now producing too many jars. It should be ready next year. You must know that it's a very big project and a huge building because there will be a greenhouse in that construction that will produce vegetables during winter. Also, we will dig a underground root cellar for winter storage. Every year, we do a water analysis and each recipe has a lot number (as you can see under the jars).

Highlights this Month
If you need a special gift for Christmas, we have several combinations of jars together. It comes as a gift package, wrapped and decorated. See below all the packaging we did for you. There are one-jar package, two-jar-and three-jar packages.
