He began his teaching career in 1963 in the Montreal area and continued to share his knowledge with young people in the small municipality of Ormstown for many years. In 2000, he concluded his career at the Faculty of Education at the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, leaving with the satisfaction of a job well done.<\/p><p>To entertain his students, he decided to host a picnic at his farm in 1969. It was an instant hit! The children wanted to come back again and again, and stay as long as possible, to experience all the thrills and spills. Carried away by this surge of enthusiasm and joy, this great educator founded La Ferme d'Andr\u00e9, enabling thousands of youngsters to emancipate themselves in a safe and welcoming environment.<\/p><p><strong>This is La Ferme d\u2019Andr\u00e9<\/strong>; a place where freedom and autonomy go hand in hand with safety and supervision.

In 2013, he entrusted the management of La Ferme d'Andr\u00e9 to a non-profit organization. For seven years, \"Organisme La ferme d'Andr\u00e9 1969\" has continued to welcome many young people to experience unforgettable moments while developing their skills and imagination in a stimulating environment that emphasizes freedom, autonomy and initiative.<\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"uael-accordion-cb45d1c\" class=\"uael-faq-accordion\" role=\"tablist\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class= \"uael-accordion-title\" aria-expanded=\"false\" role=\"tab\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uael-accordion-icon uael-accordion-icon-right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uael-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" width=\"38px\" height=\"38px\" viewBox=\"0 0 38 38\"><title>bouton-plus@2<\/title><g id=\"Page-1\" stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><g id=\"infos-utiles\" transform=\"translate(-1506, -2320)\"><g id=\"bouton-plus\" transform=\"translate(1506, 2320)\"><circle id=\"Oval\" fill=\"#A5C342\" cx=\"19\" cy=\"19\" r=\"19\"><\/circle><path d=\"M19.6155651,18.8401741 L19.6155651,12 C19.6155651,12 18.3838375,12 18.3838375,12 L18.3838375,18.8401741 L12,18.8401741 C12,18.8401741 12,20.1604659 12,20.1604659 L18.3838375,20.1604659 L18.3838375,27 C18.3838375,27 19.6155651,27 19.6155651,27 L19.6155651,20.1604659 L26,20.1604659 C26,20.1604659 26,18.8401741 26,18.8401741 L19.6155651,18.8401741 Z\" id=\"icon-plus-copy-5\" fill=\"#FFFFFF\"><\/path><\/g><\/g><\/g><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uael-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" width=\"38px\" height=\"38px\" viewBox=\"0 0 38 38\"><title>bouton-moins<\/title><g id=\"Page-1\" stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><g id=\"infos-utiles\" transform=\"translate(-1506, -2845)\"><g id=\"bouton-moins\" transform=\"translate(1506, 2845)\"><circle id=\"Oval\" fill=\"#A5C342\" cx=\"19\" cy=\"19\" r=\"19\"><\/circle><path d=\"M19.6155651,18.8401741 L18.3838375,18.8401741 L12,18.8401741 C12,18.8401741 12,20.1604659 12,20.1604659 L18.3838375,20.1604659 L19.6155651,20.1604659 L26,20.1604659 C26,20.1604659 26,18.8401741 26,18.8401741 L19.6155651,18.8401741 Z\" id=\"icon-plus-copy-5\" fill=\"#FFFFFF\"><\/path><\/g><\/g><\/g><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"uael-question-cb45d1c uael-question-span\" tabindex=\"0\" id=\"uael-faq-2-69f0a35bedaae\">New management since 2020<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-accordion-content\" role=\"tabpanel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><p>No one was immune to the COVID-19 virus, which spread insidiously at lightning speed and claimed the lives of many loved ones.
