*During the growing season 100% of the produce is grown on our farm. For the winter we include as much of our own product as possible- we grow extra storage produce in the summer to plan for this (for example onions, garlic, beets, squash, potatoes, carrots etc.) We also freeze some of the summer’s best bounty, and offer Green Beans, Tomatoes and Brussels Sprouts long after the snow has covered the ground. In the coldest months we partner with a few other local farms that grow hothouse produce so that we can offer a variety of greens etc. from producers whose practices align with our farming methods.
There may be occasions in the winter where specific items are sourced from organic producers elsewhere but for the most part the supplemented produce is Ontario grown and all vegetables are Canada and USDA organic certified.
