Uncovering our roots

Welcome to Ferme J. Ouimet, where a love of the land and potatoes has been passed on since 1969! This is where it all began, in the rich farmlands of Quebec. In 2005, Ricky Roberge, Sylvain Rhéaume and Marc‑André Allard joined together to become owners, bringing their passion for potatoes and innovative agricultural vision. Ricky has always believed in the importance of valuing our team members from near and far, cultivating a sense of belonging and pride.

We’re obsessed with potatoes

Our farm offers consumers a wide variety of potatoes, including yellow potatoes, white potatoes, red potatoes, russets, and imported sweet potatoes. We’re committed to providing the highest‑quality agricultural products in various sizes to local grocery stores and markets to meet your culinary (and gourmet!) needs.
We work hand in hand to bring you the best. Our secret? Our astonishing passion for the quality of our potatoes!
