Hours of operation: May through November, 9 am to dark, Monday to Saturday.

Pearl Ward has been tending the thirteen acres of woods, brush, lakes and hills that comprise her Heritage Homestead for over 25 years. Born and raised on a farm, Pearl uses her mother's old recipes to make acorn bread, butternut fudge, hawthorn jelly and sumac lemonade with the nuts and berries from the trees on her property.  With the occasional help of her grandchildren, Pearl also grows an array of seasonal non-certified organic vegetables and herbs, and a variety of berries: blackberries, large and small blueberries, red and black currants.
Pearl's real passion, however is poultry: bantams, ducks, geese, guinea, quail, turkeys, and a variety of hens.  She has between 70 and 80 birds, predominantly rare and heritage breeds that she raises for eggs - though she will sell young birds if available.  Her small Beltsville White turkeys are amongst the last 700 of that type remaining in Canada along with Ancona, Appleyard and Aylesbury ducks.  Her Buff, Pilgrim and Pomeranian geese are on the critical list, as are the Blue Andalusian, Chantecler (Canada's one and only breed of chicken), Hungarian Yellowsand Anconas chickens. Pearl also does Rare Breeds Canada displays of her poultry at various farmers markets and fairs.
 

Located on 3/4 acres in the middle of town, Beckwith Gardens is Perth's first backyard market garden.  Andrew and Linda Gehrke, a brother and sister team and market gardeners since 2005, relocated from 'the country' to town in 2009 in an effort to minimize their dependency on fossil fuels and reduce their footprint on the Earth.  Their products are sold less than a kilometer down the street at the Perth Farmers' Market, as well as through CSA with pick-up at their house. 
Beckwith Gardens offers a full range of non-certified organic seasonal vegetables, including heritage tomatoes, salad mixes, Swiss chard, kale, garlic, beans, peas, brassicas, herbs, root crops, associated sprouts and more.  As well, Linda's delicious baked goods are not to be missed!

After 10 years away from Lanark County, Katie returned home to her familys' dairy farm and took over a small pot of land to begin her market garden and CSA. Although not certified organic, no chemicals are used in her garden. Now in her 3rd year of business, Katie supplies weekly delivery of vegetables to customers in the Almonte and Carleton Place area and also sells at the Almonte Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. She also brings a wide variety of homebaked goods to the Almonte and Union Hall Market which begins in early July.

Heritage Harvest Farm, Organic Produce CSA and Preserve CSA - Heritage Harvest Farm is located on 36 acres near Merrickville, Ontario. Our goal is to create a CSA model farm that provides a full and interesting diet. We have designed our farm around our desire to pasture raise animals the way nature intended. All of our animals are pasture raised and all are raised in a loving stress free environment. We are an Organic farm and are able to provide our own compost and all of our own hay. Any grains needed are purchased from Homestead Organics. On our farm we supply all of our own dairy, pork, beef, chicken, eggs, fruit, vegtables and maple syrup. 

***New this year: We are pleased to offer Certified Organic Pasture Raised Berkshire & Tamworth Pork! ***

Consumers can purchase our vegetables at the Perth Farmers Market and at Foodsmiths.

Ferme Ouellete has a long history. First established in 1852 by the Mather family, Patrick and Caroline Ouellette purchased the Century Farm in 2002, and immediately began setting down roots.
Patrick and Caroline believe strongly that traditional farming is the best way to do business – best for humans, best for animals, and best for the environment. Caroline, who comes from a long line of farmers, credits her mother and grandmother with instilling in her a deep understanding and respect for nature that is reflected in everything she does.  Patrick’s niche is his horses. He readily admits he would rather work with his team than on his tractor and says he finds peace and quiet in the sound of their breathing. Patrick’s respect and fondness for his horses can work magic and the horses always respond and reciprocate.
The love and dedication Caroline and Patrick put in everything they do is evident to anyone who visits Ferme Ouellette Farm. They sell at the Farmgate on Saturday and Sunday, 10 AM to 5 PM April to December.

In 2007, Kristine Swaren and Malcolm Williams brought a shared love of the land together to work with Mother Nature in a beautiful valley in Lanark Highlands. Malcolm's bees produce golden honey from native wildflowers, trees and the garden plants. Malcolm also makes furniture from cedar, ironwood and maple harvested from the 170-acre property. Kristine trained with an herbalist and a biodynamic farmer and works with Canadian Organic Growers.
In the photo are some of the WWOOFers who help on the farm (WWOOF=World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) - we welcome local exchange-help as well.
Blue Chicory Garden's organic products are available at the farm gate and McDonald's Corners Farmers Market. We are committed to being local farmers to our neighbours and nearby communities.
Production methods include the use of compost and cover crops to improve soil health, and the incorporation of biodynamic and permaculture practices. Kristine and Malcolm are members of the Canadian Organic Growers, Lanark Organic Growers Guild, and Slow Food Lanark County.
