August Long Weekend

We will be open Monday August 3rd with all of our weekend activities, weather permitting.

This will be the last weekend for our Enchanted Forest until September. Come out and enjoy.

We will continue to have wagon rides in August every hour between 10:00 am and 3:00pm. Our admission price will reflect the nonavailability of the forest. We find August is a good month to repair and refresh the forest. It is also a very buggy month, the mosquitoes will miss you.

We now have Gourmet Sweet Peaches and Cream sweet corn. It just started today. This group of corn varieties has the sweetness of super sweets but a nicer texture and excellent corn flavour. The market is also filling up with other great Ontario fruit and veggies - GARLIC is now available. Peas, both sweet and sugar snap are still available for about one more week. The beans are great.

NANTES carrots will be available next week.

Sweet corn has started

Ontario peaches and cream sweet corn is now here. We currently have corn from Waterford, Ontario. Its super sweet and delicious.

The weather has been cool and wet which has been great for our pea crop. We've now started picking our latest planting and there's lots to pick. Our green and yellow beans are now ready for pick your own as well. The cool weather extended our strawberry season and today was the last day for berries.

PEACHES, plums, raspberries, blueberries and melons are in the market. Their flavour is amazing.
Raspberry season will last approximately one to two more weeks. Don't delay. Fresh picked berries are available in the market now.

Our corn maze is growing. We will have it ready for exploring Labour Day weekend.

We'll be open for fun Monday, August 3rd. This will be the last weekend to enjoy our Enchanted Forest. It will be closed for the month of August and will reopen Labour Day weekend. We take this time to refresh the walkway and make repairs. Wagon rides will still be available August weekends between 10am and 3pm.

Strawberry Season is winding down

Our last day for pick your own berries in Greenbank will be Friday July 10th. The season has been a cool one with the weather presenting a challenge. As with any other farmer we always are looking to next year being better. We have a new patch planted and are tending to it.

Fresh picked berries along with pick your own peas will still be available at our Markham Farm. We are now open daily 9 till 6. The peas have loved this weather and we've had our best crop yet. We have approximately 1 week left of pea season, don't miss it.

Sweet corn is on the horizon and should be available in approx. 1-2 weeks time. Call 905-887-1087 for current market updates on crops and activities.

Ontario cherries are here in our market now!

Mud and Toots and all the other animals will be glad to have you visit. Come and enjoy some time on the farm.
