Merci beaucoup
I was waiting for the quebec homesteading video!! Since thats where I live.
I really like abitbi temiscamingue because it is up north, vast, good for fishing and hunting, near ontario, “cheap” etc.
Can you do Nova Scotia next?
Typical Montreal speak! What about south western Quebec? Bordering Ontario at the river and close to lots of towns like Perth, pen broke and Ottawa? Bristol and Otter Lake are really great without lots of regulations like in the MRC
Everywhere here is nice, relax!
Cool Curtis, I never thought you would look our way, We have 1,2 acre little homestead near Amqui, QC called Lac-Humqui. Our little piece of heaven. We’re the only house on our road. 15 min from 2 towns and 20 min from Amqui. Anyone interested let it be known we have solid bones on our 1940s house but it does need lipstick. Its a great start at a reasonable price.
Vive le Quebec Libre! 😆
You do not know much about Quebec, do you? If you are farming, the biggest problem, in most of the province, is the very short growing season, cold winters and thin soils. The warmest part of the province is Montreal, and in the Montreal area you can grow a wide variety of crops, but as you go northward and eastward from Montreal, the variety of crops you can grow successfully diminishes rapidly, because of the short growing season. Also, in most of the Canadian shield and Appalachians, soils are thin because they were all scraped off by the last glaciation that ended only 10,000 years ago. The area you were showing around the 7-minute mark is in Abitibi, where agriculture is very difficult. Although there are fertile and deep clay soils, the growing season is very short, and it gets very cold in the winter. The area is overwhelmingly French-speaking, and the few farms tend to be dairy farms. Which brings up another question: much of farming in Quebec is highly regulated, such as dairy farms, where you need to respect government quotas that limit the amount of milk you can sell. Once you are in the cooler parts of the province, away from Montreal, dairy farming is the only type of agriculture that is viable, because the only crop that you can grow with the short growing season, is hay, and the cows have to stay in a barn for half the year.
Hi from Montréal, I’m a chick forest technician, I majored in Sylviculture, I planted lots of hard and soft woods on my land, feed the critters, kids do well, I can bike everywhere, it’s grand!
