Our History… a deep passion

A family tradition, a vision for the future

It all began in 1992 with Denis Bédard, a passionate pioneer and visionary entrepreneur. He became the 4th largest cranberry producer in Quebec, forging a bold path in a still-emerging industry. Thanks to his commitment and building instincts, the family business took root in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, in the heart of cranberry country.

Today, Atocas Bédard Inc. / Canneberges Québec is one of the 5 largest producers of cranberries in Quebec.

The second generation, embodied by Patrick Bédard, a McGill University graduate, is bringing new momentum to the company. A visionary, strategist, and tireless developer, in 2008 Patrick established a modern packing plant and expanded operations from Saint-Louis-de-Blandford to Princeville. In 2025, he made a major acquisition: Perfect Berries, in Nova Scotia, the largest producer/packer of cranberries and highbush blueberries in the province.

Alongside him, his wife, Nancy Goudreau, a graduate of HEC Montréal, plays a central role in talent management and business development. Together, they form a strong and complementary duo, focused on innovation and sustainable growth.

The third generation takes over with conviction:

Camil, an accounting graduate from Bishop’s University, ensures the financial soundness of the company

Gabriel, a graduate in agricultural economics from Laval University, brings a modern vision of agriculture and sustainable development.

Together, they pursue the family mission: to grow more than just berries – to grow a future.

A Strategic Expansion

The acquisition of Perfect Berries in Nova Scotia marks a major turning point. Recognized for the quality of its products and its expertise, this farm adds 85 acres of cranberries and 265 acres of highbush blueberries to the 350 acres of cranberries and 40 acres of blueberries already farmed in Quebec.

This strategic expansion now allows the company to offer fresh cranberries until the holiday season, thanks to an extended harvest schedule, from September to December.
