Good food is what binds us together in community and culture, and it’s at the heart of who we all are.
Our farm factors sustainability issues into our decisions every single day. Today, as third generation farmers working the same land since 1946, this stewardship is as relevant as ever.
We’re committed to practicing environmentally-sustainable agriculture, creating a resilient food system, and fostering a community around food and farming that supports, learns from, and enjoys each other.
Our farm is generally open from early July until the end of October, but not every day. Always check our website or hotline for updated hours and availability 807-475-5181. www.belluzfarms.on.ca
