Upper Canada Cranberries

Lyle Slater

“We’re always in the red,” jokes Lyle Slater. Indeed, while harvesting his crop he is truly in a sea of floating red cranberries. Upper Canada Cranberries is the only cranberry bog in Eastern Ontario, and being within city limits makes it one-of-a- kind in the world. Starting with 100 acres of virgin bush in 1996, Lyle is now harvesting 90,000 pounds of cranberries from fifteen acres of bog.

Trillium Meadows Red Deer & Wild Boar Farm

Hans & Marianne Lindenmann

Hans and Marianne Lindenmann immigrated from Switzerland in 1998 and found their new home in the picturesque town of Vankleek Hill. The decision to farm red deer and wild boar was carefully made as they were looking to farm animals in a natural as possible way. All animals are outdoors throughout the year and are raised in a natural environment with the best of care.

Tincap Berry Farm

Iris & Robert Dentz

Iris and Robert of Tincap Berry Farm know a thing or two about growing delicious and fresh fruits and vegetables: they have been in production for over 25 years! With the introduction of each season, TinCap will have new flavours and freshness for you to try. With asparagus in the early spring, juicy, fresh strawberries moving into summer and the deliciously flavourful tastes of the fall harvest, the TinCap bounty is sure to always delight and allow you to savour the flavours of the season.

SunTech Greenhouses

Robert Mitchell

SunTech Greenhouses is a 4 acre family owned farm striving to encourage sustainable food production and food security in the nation’s capital. Our vegetables are grown hydroponically in the most efficient and sustainable manner using the industry’s most advanced technologies.

We choose plant varieties based on flavor, not yield, and grow them with high nutrient levels until fruits are vine ripened. We make sure our plants are cared to perfection in our year-round greenhouses and we provide the highest quality of fresh produce as well as a reliable local food source even through the long winter months.

Stanley’s Olde Maple Lane Farm

Earl Stanley

Stanley’s Olde Maple Lane Farm has been open for business since 1993, though the farm has been in the family since 1786. It is a diverse business with its roots in maple trees and of course the delicious liquid gold that comes from those trees, maple syrup. The 200-year old sugar bush is open from early March through mid April and features a petting farm, a heritage sugar shack, museum, tractor-drawn wagon rides and a pancake breakfast at the 300-seat Pancake House restaurant.

Earl says that “a love of people” inspired the transformation of the farm to its current state as a popular reception locale for weddings, corporate functions and large or small private parties.

Roots Down Organic Farm

Roots and Shoots Farm

Robin Turner & Jess Weatherhead

Ferme Roots and Shoots has been growing delicious, nutrient-rich, certified organic veggies since 2010. Jess and Robin started out on rented land in Manotick Station. Since then we’ve grown from 60 Community Supported Agriculture (veggie box) members in our first year to 400 in 2022. In 2015 we purchased the ol’ Nesbitt Farm in La Pêche, minutes from P19 in Gatineau Park. We now serve veggie baskets to over 500 families through our Summer, Fall and Winter organic basket program. We also offer a variety of seasonal flowers and host events throughout the summer to bring the community together and share this beautiful land.

We believe in fostering a sustainable future for our region, and creating long-term local employment to build local-food capacity in our area.
