The genesis of our productions
Maple syrup
In 2007, maple syrup production began with the construction of the sugar shack and the collection of maple sap from approximately 300 taps using traditional buckets.
From forest honey to wildflower honey
In 2011, a honey house was built on the family's forest land in Scotstown. The beehives were then set up deep in the forest at the foot of Mont Mégantic, producing a smooth and fruity honey that quickly gained popularity. Today, our colorful beehives can be found in several locations throughout the valley. By foraging the flowers in our orchard, fields, and riparian strips, our bees continue to produce the exceptional honey so loved by our customers.
Quebec organic figs
While the idea of growing figs right here in Quebec had been on Serge's mind for a few years, La Vallée du Moulin acquired its first fig trees in 2017. Two years later, the first greenhouse was built to house approximately 1,000 fig trees of more than a dozen different varieties. The first organic figs in Quebec were finally ready to be harvested.
The Family
It was in 2012 that Serge’s dream of creating a project with his children in the valley of Melbourne began to take shape. Starting in 2017, each family member gradually joined in, bringing their own unique expertise. The third generation is already on the horizon.
The story of La Vallée du Moulin is still in its early chapters. Many developments and exciting twists are yet to come. Several innovative projects are already in the works.

Wildflower and forest honey
In 2011, a honey house was built on the family forest land in Scotstown. The hives were then installed in the middle of the forest at the foot of Mont Mégantic and produced a sweet and fruity honey that is rapidly gained in popularity. Now, we find our colorful apiaries in a few places in the valley. By gathering pollen from the flowers of our orchard, our fields, and our shores, our bees continue to produce exceptional honey that is so appreciated by our customers.
