Why choose us?
A weekly delivery service of fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Sustainable living spaces promoting cooperation and work-life balance among residents.
Hands-on classes teaching nutritious meal preparation using ingredients sourced directly from our farms.
A farm co-op is a business model that can help you to reach these goals and achieve a more balanced lifestyle.
Shared Load
Reduced Stress:
Stop carrying the entire operation on your shoulders. By implementing clear governance, you share the massive workload, turning a solo burden into a shared advantage.
Time for Life:
Achieve a reasonable work schedule. Aim to take 2-day weekends for example! The co-op structure can allow you to finally take a summer vacation, sick days, or holidays because the team has systems to cover you.
Work-Life Balance:
A co-op can make it possible to gain the comfort, flexibility, and financial stability necessary to create a true work-family balance.
Business Resilience and Growth
Collective Strength
Benefit from the strengths and specialized knowledge of your colleagues, multiplying your farm's success beyond what any one person could achieve.
Fair Profit-Sharing:
Implement clear and fair systems for profit distribution, wages, and membership equity that build retention and commitment for the long term.
A Structure That Lasts:
Build a resilient, values-driven organization designed for growth, clear roles, and smooth succession.

Your Coach
My name is Fred Theriault, and since 2005, I have successfully run the Tourne-Sol Co-op Farm in Québec (now 11 members).
I now dedicate my coaching practice, the Farm Co-op Academy, to helping other dedicated farmers gain the structure they need to farm collaboratively, and continue living their dream, not sacrificing their life.
Stories from our clients
"Working with Fred was a unique and incredibly helpful experience.
The most important work we tackled was building strong communication and governance systems — the very structures integral to our shifting business model.
Frederic’s mentorship provided the experienced, fresh perspective we needed to realize our vision. We highly recommend this program to any co-op seeking clarity and structure."

Anne-Sophie Tardif
"The coaching program with Fred really gave me concrete tools to improve my communications with subscribers.
I quickly saw a difference in my subscribers' responses, and for the first time in several years, we reached and even exceeded our subscription sales goals!"
Katherine Spilka
"Thanks to the coaching, we now have concrete marketing tools and greater confidence. Note that our in-store sales increased by 40% in 2025!
The format (one project per month) is very effective and allows for quick application.
An excellent investment for any farm that wants to take action."

"Fred’s coaching gave me a concrete foundation to structure my marketing — I really appreciated the analysis of the customer journey and the workshop on newsletters.
Frédéric is dynamic and encourages rich exchanges between producers. I highly recommend this program to any farm looking to start organizing their marketing: simple, practical, and directly applicable off-season."
