Our three farms are located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. We produce various crops, the principal ones being peaches, oriental plums, sweet cherries, apricots, and apples. Minor crops include raspberries, sour cherries, seedless grapes, nectarines, purple plums, strawberries, rhubarb, squash, tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers, potatoes, peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon, beets, beans, peas, garlic, zucchini and eggs. Together our farms comprise 18 hectares (45 acres). Compared to other farms in the region, this is a mid-sized operation. Due to the labour- intensiveness of tender fruit production and the logistics involved in administering a large staff over large land areas, most farms in the area under 30 hectares. The farmers of the Niagara Region together produce approximately 80% of Canada's peach crop yearly, and are responsible for most of the other tender fruit crop production in the country.
