La Petite-Ferme at Cap Tourmente, Quebec, in an area with an Indigenous presence going back more than 2,000 years, began as a livestock farm built for Samuel de Champlain in 1626 to help feed the young settlement of Québec. It was the first livestock farm in the St. Lawrence Valley; bought by Bishop Laval in 1664, it was run by the Séminaire de Québec for 300 years.
