Patrice and Lise Finnigan
Brief History
Patrice started up a greenhouse on his father’s farm in 1975. In 1979, he and his wife, Lise, opened a stand and purchased a 22,000 sq. ft. greenhouse in Rogersville. In 1984 and 1987, they bought garden centres in Richibucto and Miramichi. In 1991, he, his brother Charles and their sister Anne launched a partnership in Richibucto. In 2011, they made the move to organic products. They are now certified organic.
