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 Coache's Commitment
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."
