Farm Happenings at Fiddlehead Farm
Happy September, yikes it's here already!

Harvest day for us always wraps up with the pack line, and this week there were some great tunes to dance along with on the radio!

Tomato Season & Canning Time!
We've been sending out mixed boxes of tomatoes until now, but we've now hit peak tomato season and we can now list some varietals separately! Do you have a favourite yet? Our Green and Red Zebras are an old favourite duo, both heirloom tomatoes. The Green Zebras are perhaps the swee1 read more »

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.
