Can you believe that there are only 2 more CSA pick up's for the summer season? We wrap up the week prior to Thanksgiving Monday.
We arrived at the fall equinox on Tuesday, and this morning Jack excitedly called me over to the enormous maple tree on the farm so we could watch the first1 read more »

The inaugural ginger harvest was a delight. We've been growing this crop for at least 4 years and this is the first time I'm fully happy with the results. Our original farming teacher Gavin Dandy used to say it takes 100 years to become a good farmer. If being a "good farmer" is d1 read more »

We are eating a lot of simple food these days: steamed green beans with butter and salt, grilled peppers, zucchini, or eggplant, tomatoes sliced with basil and balsamic, and cucumbers with lemon.

About the farm
Firmly Rooted Farm is a small scale family vegetable farm located in Belgrave, Ontario. We love growing food: we grow organically, producing over 40 crops, on under 4 acres, during all 4 seasons of the year. We love feeding our local community, and only sell within 1 hour of the farm. We believe that to be firmly rooted means to live from the yields of our land, and to help our neighbours do the same. We hope you’ll choose us to be your farmers!
