We are a family-owned and operated non-certified organic diversified vegetable farm located 15 minutes north of Bolton, Ontario. We run a year-round CSA program as well as other income streams including farmers markets, rural skills workshops, and foraging floral materials. As of 2026 we are in our 10th growing season providing summer (weekly) and winter (bi-weekly) produce to our members from June-January. We also have a diverse egg-laying flock of dual-purpose and heritage-breed hens.
We are members of the Ecological Farmer's Association of Ontario. WWOOFers would be expected to contribute to the household (cooking, kitchen chores etc) and farm operations, (seeding, greenhouse watering, weeding, planting, harvesting, chicken chores etc). In the spring and fall this would also include some property maintenance (firewood splitting/stacking, general yardwork).
Accommodation: a WWOOFer would be billeted in their own room. Internet access available.
Work hours: 30 hours per week. This is the equivalent to 4 days a week with our field crew.
The household this summer will consist of me (Sarah, Farm Manager), my mother Sheilagh, our dog Magpie and our three cats Lima, Fern, and Smokey. ore staff include Dana (Field Manager), Elena (Branch Manager), and Annie (Field Hand) and various other workshare and volunteer folks. We have three/four spaces available as of this year:
The Plant Room features a separate entrance, sink, single bed and dresser. There is another door to access the common living spaces, bathrooms, shower and kitchen. In the winter we keep our houseplants in this room which is why there are so many in the photo, but most of them will be outside in the summer. From the photos you can see there are a lot of windows, please note that we have since installed blinds for light & privacy:)
The Fire Room: Comfortably furnished with a double bed, side table, chair & Ottoman (not pictured), luggage tresle and two lamps. There IS a fireplace that you're welcome to use after being trained on how to start a fire (if needed) please note The Fire Room has a slighty porouswooden door (barnboard) as a privacy barrier to the Mudroom (The main coming-and-going exit) and so may not be suitable for light sleepers.
Tent: If it's your preference to sleep under the stars somewhere else on the property for your whole visit or during a portion of it, we have a two-person tent and sleeping bag we can provide and you will have use of all the inside amenities you desire.
Organic methods: Compost teas, cover cropping, companion planting, pollinator friendly, physical barriers instead of pesticides, low-till.
Certifications: We use ecological practises and have so far opted not to get certified for financial/logistical reasons.
Current projects: In addition to fieldwork and harvesting, infrastructure/ farming adjacent projects for 2026 include moving greenhouse (mid summer) building a big garden by the house (spring) building a chick brooding set up (spring), rainwater collection system (spring/early summer) and many other smaller projects that have yet to make themselves known to me haha
Parts of the day you are not volunteering hours toward the farm operations can be spent however you like; walking, cooking, cat entertaining (we have 3), reading (we have a large library for your perusal:) and a growing assortments of instruments to play! As a household we're always striving towards DIY-homesteading type stuff in regard to food preparation, so any bread-bakers or food-fermenters out there are welcome to play around in the kitchen.
