A guided or self-guided tour of this family farm will enthrall children and adults alike. This site is renowned for its star attractions: Mô the moose; the arctic wolves, Maya and Kodiak; as well as buffalo, raccoons, deer and more. Explore this vast natural setting with access to the Saguenay Fjord. The farm offers a wide variety of lodging options (B&B, campsites, yurts, teepees, motel units, cottages, etc.) as well as tasty country food and a multitude of four-season activities: sea kayaking, river canoeing, quad excursions, dogsledding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sugar shack, etc. Visitors can participate in morning chores: feeding the animals, gathering eggs, etc. Located only 15 minutes from Tadoussac, the farm is a perfect vacation site for families, groups, adventurers and nature lovers. The farm was awarded two Québec Tourism Awards in 2009: a national gold award in the “Farm Tourism” category and a special mention from the Order of Agricultural Merit.
