Rivière-Ouelle, Québec, Canada – Lambert Peat Moss Company is pleased to be celebrating its 90th anniversary of premium peat moss production. Now with four generations in the business, Lambert still operates from the original location, along with a number of additional peat bogs.
“My grandfather helped pioneer the development of peat moss production in North America, and our family carries on his legacy today,” says Gabe Lambert, president. “Our aim continues to be producing the finest quality products while being a steward of the environment.”
Founded in 1928 by Francois Xavier Lambert to produce screened and bagged peat moss, the company’s main location remains in Rivière-Ouelle, Québec, along the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, and they have expanded to several bogs along the North shore and near Lac St-Jean in the interior of Québec.

To comply with chemical standards, they sample products to analyze for pH, EC and S.M.E.; analyze particle size distribution, porosity and moisture content; regularly measure bag yield and firmness; and conduct random greenhouse tests to evaluate product performance.
