Local Foods
As an active member of the Food Matters Coalition, Transition Brockville provides this Local Foods directory in support of sustainable, healthy lifestyles.
This directory is weighted toward locally-owned and -controlled operations in Brockville and surrounding areas. For those growing their own gardens, it provides links to businesses selling seeds and seedlings as well as links to numerous How-To sites.
Important Notice about Community Gardens
Under the provincial COVID-19 Emergency Order, only gardens with the capacity to follow specific requirements are permitted to operate. The LG&L District Health Unit has prepared these safe operating requirements for local municipalities and community organizations. In addition, rules and guidelines for community gardeners have been developed and should be followed by all users.

Notes
We offer fresh seasonal vegetables and eggs from our pastured, organically and probiotically fed hens at our farm stand, at farmers’ markets and in CSA baskets.
Notes
Planted with care & picked at just the right time, our vegetables are never treated with synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. We use the same methods as certified organic farmers – and in three years, we’ll be certified, too.
Whether you buy our vegetables at the farmer’s market, at our farm gate or through our CSA, you can be sure that they’ve been out of the field for hours – not days. Because we pick, wash, and package our vegetables by hand, we minimize the damage done to leaves and skins that shortens shelf-life and ruins flavour.
Our customers can buy a membership in our market-style CSA. Like a traditional CSA, your purchase of a membership provides us with the start-up capital we need to put seeds in the ground, diesel in our tractor, and boots on our feet at the beginning of each season. Unlike a traditional CSA, we’re not the ones who decide what vegetables you get – you are.
Notes
We grow organic veggies and pasture-raised lamb for families and chefs.
Notes
We offer you Certified Organic meats, vegetables, aged cheeses, and herbs, as well as maple syrup and honey. Customize your orders any way you like. Farmgate pick-up and delivery to the Ottawa area is available 50 weeks of the year.
Notes
We are a small-scale organic farm practicing regenerative agriculture in Merrickville, Ontario. We are committed to creating a stable and sustainable site where food can continue to be produced for generations.
By working to enrich and maintain the health of the soil, we are able to produce more than 40 varieties of nutrient-dense vegetables each year.
We are pleased to be offering shares in our Community Supported Agriculture program for the 2021 season. From June 10th to October 28th, members will receive a weekly basket loaded with a seasonal selection of our fresh, local, organic vegetables. In addition to all of your market favorites, each basket will include varieties that we are growing exclusively for our CSA.
Notes
We grow great tasting, high quality, local, organic vegetables, making it easy for you to eat more veggies, feel healthier, and be more connected to your community and the land.
Notes
We provide our members with fresh, often unusual, certified organic produce. The large and varied selection includes everything from fresh baby-leaf greens in the Spring through to root crops in the Fall.
