Happy Hollows
A botanical farm in Rigaud, Quebec where medicinal plants are grown, harvested, and transformed into skincare and herbal wellness products.

Our Journey
Happy Hollows began with a passion for plant medicine and a deep commitment to quality. Our founder, Michele Young, transformed her vision of a sustainable botanical farm into a thriving apothecary that honors both traditional herbal knowledge and modern wellness.
Spanning 8 acres in Rigaud, Quebec, our farm is home to over 25 wild and cultivated medicinal herbs. Here, we take pride in the local growth, harvest, and crafting of high-quality herbal products, including tinctures, teas, infused oils, and skincare formulations.
Our mission is to provide our community with knowledge of plants used in traditional medicine and access to high-quality, handcrafted herbal products. We believe in contributing to the well-being of our broader community, helping us all move closer to living more naturally with fewer toxins and benefiting from the important health resources—our local plants—which have been, for many, forgotten.
