The cattle farm won its case before the Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec, which rejected the request of the municipality of Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly to use part of its land for purposes other than agriculture, in order to install a municipal well.

The municipality had applied to the Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec to build a municipal drinking water well on a 3,700 square metre plot of farm land.

This request was strongly contested by Ferme Marijoli on the grounds that it would have a significant negative impact on its farming activities and could jeopardize the sustainability of its business.

Our partner Isabelle Landry proudly acted on behalf of Ferme Marijoli S.EN.C. in this case.
