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!
