It was in the early 1960’s that everything started for Ferme Jean-Paul Petitclerc & Fils inc., when Jean-Paul Petitclerc made the acquisition of a small piece of land with about fifteen cross bred cows, in Saint-Basile, Portneuf, about thirty minutes from Quebec City. In the 1970’s the family started working with pure bred animals. Each year the acquisition of quota, land and the upgrading of infrastructures have been made and now the Petitclerc Family is on it’s third generation of dairy farming.
