BBQ's - A delicious tradition with family get togethers.

Celebrating Canada Day gives us a good reason to connect with family, friends and neighbours. What better way then with a BBQ.
Have you tried our beef yet? We have amazing beef patties, seasoned and unseasoned that have been getting rave reviews. We've made sure we have a good supply at our Markham location for this weekend. There is also a nice selection of our steaks (we also have Leadbetters Cowboy Steaks), pork sausage and chicken. To round out your menu - new potatoes have started and there are lot's of greens for salads. Asparagus is still in season but will end soon.
We're looking forward to sweet corn which will be ready about mid July.

Strawberry Update
The picking in Greenbank is fantastic. This is the prime weekend to pick. Supply and berry size are good and the flavour - delicious.
We'll have a good supply of fresh picked berries in our Markham market. Pick your own peas are available in Markham.

HAPPY CANADA DAY

Best Strawberry Crop Jim's Ever Grown!

Hi everyone,
Picking is now underway at our Greenbank Farm. Jim reports that this years crop is the best he's ever had. The plants are healthy, strong and bursting with berries. The berry's are a good size and very flavourful. The varieties we are picking now are Wendy and Cavendish.
We've had plenty of rain but we see very little stress on the crop. We have not had to spray for insects or disease so far.
Come on out. The picking is great. We are open (weather permitting) Mon to Friday 8 till 8 and Sat, Sunday 8 till 5. We'll be open Tuesday July 1st 8 till 5.

For everyone who can't pick we have fresh picked berries available at both our farms.

Sweet peas are now open for pick your own at our Markham Farm. Along with all the fun stuff to do, our sweet pea patch is ready for picking. Nothing like them for a snack. Our Markham Farm will also be open Tuesday July 1st from 9 till 6 with all our weekend activities happening.

Spending Canada Day on the farm; what a great way to celebrate our country!

Pick Your Own Strawberries in Greenbank

TUESDAY JUNE 24TH we will be opening our Greenbank farm for fresh picked and pick your own strawberries. We'll be opening at 8:00 am Tuesday. The berry crop is looking fantastic and with a few warm days there'll be a bounty of ripe berries.


Fresh picked berries are available at our Markham Farm. We are open in Markham daily 9 am till 6 pm. If you wish a large # please place an order in person a few days ahead. Availability is always dependent on the weather and time of season.

Strawberries are Here!!!!!!

Strawberry season is always eagerly anticipated. Strawberries are the first sweet fruit of summer and that is just around the corner. The weather this year has been a challenge but we've been lucky. Our berry crop in Greenbank has just missed hail a few times, survived two frosts (Jim was up at 2 am irrigating them to protect them from freezing) and are now getting just a little too much rain and cool temperatures. This has slowed down the ripening of the berries.

We now have fresh picked strawberries in our Markham farm market. Ours have just started and supply is somewhat limited although that will change. Supply will become bountiful as the season progresses as there is an abundance of fruit on the plants just waiting to ripen. Our patch in Greenbank looks really good this year and we're looking forward to a good season.

Markham Farm
The drought of the last two summers has done in our strawberry patch in Markham. We will have a good supply of fresh picked strawberries at our Markham location but will not have any available for pick your own there. Pick your own strawberries will be available at ourGreenbank farm only sometime after June 22nd. We will also have fresh picked berries available in Greenbank. Special orders can be placed at either location. Please give us a few days notice.

Peas (sweet and sugar snap) will be available for pick your own in Markham at the end of June and green and yellow beans throughout the summer.
Our Markham market will continue to carry a good selection of our own produce and that of other Ontario farmers along with delicious baked goods, preserves and our meat - beef, pork and chicken.

Lamb update
It has been a busy spring for lambing. 13 have been born, 2 are in need of bottle feeding. All are doing well and we're very pleased. The two bottle fed lambs are Victor and Houdini and they just love to see everyone, especially at meal times. They are two of the most coddled lambs I have ever seen.

Come and enjoy a visit. For the most up to date info call for a crop update at 905-887-1087
