A visit to Quebec

I had the good fortune to spend a few days last month in Central Quebec where I visited a historic mill and its bakery and met with people who love to talk about what makes them tick. Even though it wasn’t all about bread, it all had to do with bread one way or another and therefore belongs on Farine.
It is a long story however and to make it more convenient to read only part of it or to jump from one aspect of it to the next, I divided it among different posts:
If bread is all you care to read about, then go nibble at

The Meteorite

.

If you like old-fashioned bakeries, come with me on a visit to

Boulangerie La Rémy

where, as a bonus, you’ll be allowed to drool at your heart’s content.

If mills are your thing, Patrick the miller will show you around

The Mill on the Rémy

.

History buffs will probably like

A Quebec Story

.

Should you wonder how it came about that an early-19th century mill was restored and a bakery put in, then you’ll want to read

The Gift of Bread

.


Finally lovers of nature and the landscape, gardeners and fellow passionate people will want to meet

Frank Cabot: A Man with a Passion

.

Whatever you choose, enjoy!
