About the farm
A decentralised urban farm in downtown Kingston Ontario, Main Street Market Urban Farm has been run by co-farmers Tim & Tracy Lyon since 2009.

We fell in love with farming and the food we grow when we tasted the fruit straight from the field. You can get it delivered right to your door by bicycle! Our growing methods follow organic principles in our intensive, market-garden style beds.
