Harbourton Township, Ontario

The farm stand worth the drive.

Fresh from our fields since 1962. Three generations of the Alderquist family growing, baking and boiling syrup on the same hundred acres — and selling it to you the day it's picked.

Updated every week by the farm crew

What's fresh this week

The board below is the same one we update behind the counter — when a crop comes in or sells out, it changes here first.

Strawberries

Just picked

First flush of the season — sweet, small and deep red. Quarts at the front counter, or pick your own in the east field.

Sweet corn

Coming soon

Peaches-and-cream rows are tasselling now. First dozen ears usually land the last week of July — watch this space.

Butter tarts

Baked daily

Grandma Eleanor's recipe, baked in the farm kitchen every morning. Plain, raisin or pecan — gone by mid-afternoon most Saturdays.

Peas

Last week!

Shelling peas are winding down in the heat. Last baskets of the season this week — snap peas hang on a little longer.

New potatoes

Just picked

Thin-skinned Norlands dug fresh each morning. Boil them whole with butter and dill — no peeling required.

Cut flowers

Just picked

Mixed bunches from Marion's flower rows — snapdragons, zinnias and sweet peas. Bring a jar or grab one of ours.

On the farm

More than a market

The Market Store

Open year-round

Our own produce, eggs, preserves and maple syrup, plus milk, cheese and bread from farms we know by first name. The chalkboard by the door tells you what came in this morning.

Farm Bakery

Baking daily, May to December

Fruit pies from our own berries, butter tarts, cinnamon buns and sourdough loaves — all from the farm kitchen behind the store. Follow your nose.

Pick-Your-Own Fields

Strawberries in June & July · pumpkins in October

Grab a basket and a row marker and pick at your own pace. Wagons run to the pumpkin patch on fall weekends, and little pickers are always welcome.

The Sugar Bush

March weekends

Walk the trail to the sugar shack, watch sap boil down to syrup, and warm up with pancakes and taffy on snow. The same maples Grandpa Ross tapped in 1962.

The Alderquist family, at the gate since 1962

Our story

Three generations, one red wagon

In 1962, Emil and Greta Alderquist sold their first quarts of strawberries off a child's red wagon at the end of the lane. The wagon is still in the store — and so is the idea: grow it here, pick it ripe, and look the customer in the eye.

Today their son Dan runs the fields, his wife Marion runs the bakery and flower rows, and the grandkids run the wagon rides on fall weekends. A hundred acres, no middlemen, and a chalkboard instead of a marketing department.
