Julie Noordhoek has always had a little spark of “Rebel Jules” energy.
The nickname was earned back in Grade 8 at the Château Frontenac, when a window screen mysteriously popped out while she was trying to take the perfect photo, just as the French teacher arrived at the door. Not an escape attempt. Just very enthusiastic sightseeing. C’est la vie.
Raised in a one-stoplight town, Julie moved to Toronto for university and discovered big city life in full colour. She adapted quickly, but the pull of nature, community, and quieter roads never disappeared. After time in Ottawa and another Toronto chapter, she found her way to Erin, Ontario, where things feel grounded, connected, and just right.
Julie is known for working hard, figuring things out, and keeping the energy positive even when the road gets a little bumpy. Her career has taken her through project management in print, non-profit, financial, and marketing communications, and today she brings that same hands-on spirit to marketing and operations on a 100-acre garlic farm. She believes sleeves are meant to be rolled up and good humour makes everything better.
When she is not working, you will likely find Julie on a hiking trail, laughing with friends, dreaming up creative projects, or chasing the next small adventure. She believes life is meant to be meaningful, a little bit fun, and powered by connection.
Jules N Joules is Julie Noordhoek and the power of positive energy in motion.
In science, energy is measured in joules.
In real life, it is the spark that keeps us moving forward, smiling, and ready for whatever comes next.
