Featuring eight locations, you’ll visit places that are part of East Gwillimbury’s rich agricultural heritage. Each spot is unique. Take The Giving Place, for example, a charming 8.5-acre, pesticide-free lavender farm that’s also home to buzzing bee hives, forests, and rescued animals. Other farms include Niemi Family Farm offering pretty plants, delicious baked goods and more, and Sharon Orchards apple farm where you can purchase six varieties of applies, including heirloom McIntosh.

 

Don’t forget to check out the free digital recipe book featuring ingredients from each farm, so you can recreate your favourite dishes and keep the farm-fresh flavours going long after the day ends.

The tour runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and you can explore in any order you’d like (though some farms do close earlier than others).

 

Don’t miss this celebration of farming, food, and community. Enjoy farm-fresh products alongside the perfect fall day trip. Experience East Gwillimbury’s Farm to Fork Tour and leave with a deeper connection to local agriculture.
