Please note: Park at the side of the road if you are towing a trailer or camper - there is no way to turn around in the driveway.
Turn into the driveway, and park in the grassed parking bay to your left. The store is self serve. Open the doors and peruse the produce on the shelves.
Change provided in the black cash box.
Check off purchased items on the page provided (next to the cash box).
Close and latch the doors behind you when finished to keep the food safe from critters.
I try to keep this page updated but there is plenty to do here...Please note, it is a challenge to keep the produce cool in the summer, so some crops may start to wilt and or go soft sooner than you might otherwise expect. We recommend you purchase food very soon before consuming.

On the menu:
Red Cooking Onions: Very limited supply of red cooking onions,
extremely long shelf life. 1st place at McDonalds Corners fair
2024. $3.00 / Lb.
Red Cipollini Onions: Flavourful onions mild enough for raw or light cooking. I tried these in a slow cooker for a pasta sauce (instead of cooking onions) and they worked quite well. These should last a month or two. $3.00 / Lb. The photograph shows the range of size for the cippolinis.
Carrots: Very limited supply of orange, a few yellow and white carrots as well. Some are quite big, most have some sort of blemish on them. $2.50 / Lb. The big ones we have tried as carrot sticks and they are still tender enough for raw eating.
Yellow Flesh potatoes: Fairly small. Just starting to go soft, so they need to be eaten soon. $3.00/Lb
White potatoes: There are lots of these but most have small quantities of greening on them. If I have enough that has just a slight blush of green in one place, then I'll sell them for $3/Lb. I you don't mind a little extra work paring off green spots and using a vinegar solution to soak soak out the solanine, we can negotiate a fair price.
Red Fingerlings: There are some mini red fingerlings that appear ok but probably need to be eaten soon. $3/Lb.
Asian cabbage hearts: $2 each. Will have a good flavour after growing under repeated frosts.
I'll sell by half or quarter pounds if you prefer.
I also have one or two mini butterscotch squash, the same price, though they must be eaten or put by very soon.
Pork: Free range Tamworth pigs, fed forage and certified organic hog feed; finished with carrots and apples. The cuts are fairly small, as last time we had too many large cuts we could not sell. Prices may be viewed on the website "pork" page. Scroll down to just past the second photograph.
Maple Syrup: $22.50 (A neighbors product)
To keep produce fresh, we only keep a limited amount of stock in the store.
