Manger dehors dans Brome-Missisquoi; Tables Champêtres et fermières incontournables

Les Cocagnes

Les Cocagnes is a collective non-profit agroecological project based in Frelighsburg. As well as offering an affordable proposal for young fruit and vegetable producers to establish themselves, Les Cocagnes is developing a full range of agritourism and immersive experiences for the whole family. La Table Champêtre is one such experience. Every weekend from June to September, a five-course meal is concocted by guest chefs, who select their fresh ingredients directly on the farm. The entire event unfolds in the middle of the fields, near the pond, where patrons relax on a magnificent pergola-covered terrace.

If you prefer a more casual, family-friendly option, you’ll love their country-style happy hours! From June 16 to September 29, 2026, Tuesday evenings are all about pop-up events featuring local chefs or artisanal pizza nights, accompanied by locally produced wines, ciders, beers and cocktails. A wonderful opportunity to gather and enjoy a laid-back moment with your neighbours, friends or visitors passing through. For a perfect ending to your outing, before you leave, stop by La Petite Cocagne, the farm boutique, nestled in Le Manège (the new indoor space) and open from Tuesday to Sunday. Here, you can fill your basket with their fine local products. Consult their website for all the details and book your spot!
