A little about me...

I am one of the co-founders of Tournesol Farm in Les Cèdres, Québéc. I’ve been growing vegetables and seeds commercially for over 20 years.

I’ve always been interested in planning and managing farms more efficiently and effectively while maintaining the quality of life and joy we all want from farming.

Spreadsheets are one of my favourite tools to relieve my farmer brain of having too many decisions to make. That way, I can focus on the other parts of farming I love — such as spending time with seeds, writing about seeds, or talking to farmers on the Seed Growers Podcast.
