Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever wanted to break free and run away to accomplish some crazy project? And what happened next? You said “ciao” to the boss. Sold your house. And told family and friends you were going on an adventure.

Where did this idea of malthouse come from?

Dany’s a project guy. Before he’s done with one, he’s already got another one on the go! So much so that he had even set out to dig a drain around the first house of the couple of entrepreneurs, with a shovel and a pickaxe!

Today, on the farm, it’s “easy.” They take out the tractor, the mini excavator and go!

In short, Dany grew up on a farm. His playground was the garage, the fields and the forest.

Dany and Cindy used to go back to Dany’s playground a few times a year to visit his parents.

According to Cindy, the city girl, who grew up in the suburbs of Montréal, Dany’s parents’ farm was a bucolic place to have a vacation in the country.

And yet…

She said Yes!

It was a beautiful sunny day in July, with this marvellous view on the Témiscouata.

She said, “yes.”

“Not to marry! That had already been done. I said ‘yes’ for a new adventure!”

Things went VERY fast from the moment we made the decision to change our lives.

“We left our jobs, sold our house and moved into our new cocoon.

A cocoon is small.

We went from a house to a two-bedroom apartment with two children. Because, I have to say, Dany’s father didn’t really believe it when we told him that we wanted to take over the farm.

Dany had never shown any interest in it before.

And then, a turn of events! Roll the drums, we’re coming!

To make a malthouse and offer a local product to local brewers.”
