The Serbi Farms in St-Eustache display a true family story where every member is involved. Sebastien and Suzanne Bigras, both son and daughter of Serge Bigras, himself a famer’s son, specialize in three major crops: rhubarb, cabbage and tomatoes. As rhubarb is on a serious trend, they have made it their most important crop and invest a lot of effort in generating three harvests per year.

You may find their product in several ice cream shops and of course, at La Place des producteurs.
