About the farm
Heather and Stephanie have been running Fiddlehead Farm since 2012 in Prince Edward County, Ontario. With a small team of employees they are ecologically growing twelve acres of tasty vegetables. Selling veggies year round, they pack up shares in spring, summer and winter seasons.
While they grew up in cities it is their shared passions for good food and the environment that led them to start their own vegetable farm after studying in ecology and politics. They started with a modest group of farm shares and a handful of farmers' markets. With the help of family, friends, and a dedicated following of both veggie box members and market customers the farm has steadily grown from its humble beginnings.
