Our values
The company's philosophy is to work in harmony with nature, excluding the use of any pesticide or synthetic fertilizer.
Attention to detail, which accompanies our products from sowing to harvesting, is the essential element that has forged our reputation.
Our products, greens, edible flowers and exotic vegetables, meet the demand for rare, fresh and high quality products.
Our mission
To offer restaurants and hotels a quality Quebec product of incomparable freshness, with a touch of exclusivity, destined for haute gastronomie!
In the 2000s, farm businesses had to measure the phosphorus content of their land.
Like many others, ours contained too much.
Since we could no longer buy potting soil or import phosphorus to fertilize our crops, founder Pierre-André Daignault decided to develop his own soil treatment system.
After extensive research, he succeeded in perfecting a machine that enables him to pasteurize his potting soil. And so, for the past ten years, instead of being thrown away, the soil has been constantly recycled.
This saves the company the cost of processing residues and buying new potting soil, as well as avoiding the GHG emissions produced by transporting materials and burying organic waste.
Eco-responsible production
100% recyclable containers
These containers, made in Quebec, are made entirely of recycled plastic to reduce the ecological footprint.
Edible flowers
& Vegetables
All our vegetables and edible flowers are certified organic by Ecocert Canada.
Organic certification guarantees that a product meets strict production standards respectful of the environment, health and animal welfare.
It is governed by precise regulations, notably concerning the absence of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
At Jardiniers du Chef, we are committed to sustainable agricultural practices that respect the environment.

Pierre-André Daignault
Owner
Our market-gardening business has earned an enviable reputation thanks to its grower-craftsman. He's always on the lookout for new species likely to surprise the taste buds, evoke a fragrance, reveal textures or catch the eye with attractive colors.
With a degree in psychology and philosophy from Concordia University, his passion for agriculture was born in 1988, a turning point that would change his career plan.
A hobby gradually turned into a growing passion for cultivating the land.
