About the farm
Right here, in our fields that bank onto the Rideau River, proudly on NCC land, the best organic veggies in town are grown. No chemicals, no artificial fertilizer, no GMO trickery. Just naturally enriched soil beds that yield an abundance of succulent greens and hearty roots that are full of nutrients and flavour. This is the way the food was always meant to be.
Each season, we offer shares in the anticipated harvest of fresh vegetables. Each week you will share in our passion for growing when you receive a bin of fresh, organically grown produce carefully picked at their peak for either an onsite farm pick up or for delivery to your home.
