We are a small family farm, established in 2010, that focuses on
producing high quality, naturally grown products.
Small Town Farms provides fresh, local produce to the Beamsville area.
Unlike the CFIA definition for locally grown produce, we believe that
local food should be grown within 100km of your table. These products
are available directly from the farmers, who put in efforts to provide
safe and healthy products to the community, reducing the number of
people handling products, storage time, and transport time.
Local produce is all picked at peak ripeness level for ideal freshness,
flavour and nutrition. Our products can go from our fields to your table
in a day, or less!
We have an overall goal of growing better tasting, fresher, and
healthier food to share with our community.
We diligently research our crops to decide on specific varieties of
fruit, melons, and vegetables that would grow best within our climate
and soil conditions while providing ideal flavour, nutrition, and shelf
life.
We want to use our experiences on the farm to teach our children, along
with our community, where their food comes from, how it is grown, and
how to harvest. Building this farm with family is a chance to learn the
basic skills to be resourceful and grateful for the small things you
have while turning what seems like nothing, into something to be shared
and enjoyed. Each day working on the farm provides new opportunities for
learning, allowing us to continually adapt, to get better at what we do,
and to strive to provide the best products to the community that we can
