Clef des Champs

MANUFACTURED IN CANADA – The products from Clef des Champs are coming soon!

The importance of the garden: Medicinal plants develop their curative power through natural elements (seasons, climate, animals).

Marie Provost’s beginnings: In 1978, Marie, a young herbalist, starts searching for medicinal plants after a trip to South America, but herbalism is rare in Quebec at the time.
Birth of Clef des Champs: In 1989, Marie creates her herbal cream using wild, organic plants. Clef des Champs is founded, and the products begin to sell through cooperatives in Quebec.

Education and sharing: In 1984, Marie establishes the École Buissonnière to teach medicinal plants. She publishes a practical guide in 1987 and trains thousands of students over the years.

Recognition of herbalism: Herbalism gains respect from the medical and pharmaceutical community, and is recognized as an alternative medicine by Health Canada.

Regulation and licensing: Marie becomes an ambassador for herbalism with Health Canada. Clef des Champs receives a license in 2006 and continues to produce natural products while staying true to its values.

New gardens: In 2004, Clef des Champs moves its gardens to a new mountain-side location, using biodynamic and organic methods to nurture the soil and plants.

Building construction: In 2010, Clef des Champs builds an eco-friendly LEED-certified building for its operations, meeting Health Canada’s standards for its accredited products.

Local impact: Clef des Champs contributes to the local community’s prosperity and strives to provide a balanced, positive work environment for its employees.
