The Fifty Acre Garden: Fresh Vegetables, Herbs, Teas, Flowers
Heaven is Green.
About Us
Located in beautiful Oro-Medonte, Ontario, The Fifty Acre Garden features locally grown vegetables, fruit, herbs, teas, and cut flowers. We use intensive gardening techniques and permaculture philosophies to work wisely and in balance with nature.
Our business is focused on both environmental and social sustainability. We use only organic approved methods and endeavor to address local food insecurity by donating one third of our produce to The Sharing Place Food Centre in Orillia. Additionally, our workshare program -- which plays an integral role in our harvesting -- strives to build community by bringing participants together to work as a team for three hours each week, in exchange for an order of fresh produce.
Customers are welcome to swing by our roadside stand (available 24/7 June through October) or visit us at our on-farm market stand from 9-12 on Saturdays mornings June through Thanksgiving.
Wholesale enquires are always welcomed.
Freshly Picked
Fresher tastes better! Your taste buds are going to thank you when you enjoy some fresh goodies from The Garden. Why? Because local production means our produce isn't aging in transport. We pick it at its peak, and you reap all the yummy benefits.
Locally Grown
Local food is a winner all-around. Our customers get the freshest vegetables and herbs, our farm in Oro supports the local economy, and less transportation means fewer fossil fuels burned on the road and less energy used in refrigeration. Now that's what we call being neighbourly.
