Quebec City Travel and Local Food Experiences

I've always had a fantasy about living on an island. I wanted to live somewhere far away but still close  enough to visit the city should I choose to. I know this isn't really a possibility since I live in the heart of Sydney and love my proximity to things but it also means that when I go on holiday, the chance to visit a rather special island called Île d'Orléans was awfully tempting. Île d'Orléans is known as the "Garden of Quebec" and is where what is said to be the best produce comes from. It's a smallish island, about 37kms long by 7kms. And who knew that only 10 minutes drive out of Quebec City you would come across lush farmland, pick your own fruit and meet international award winning producers?
