What's🌱at Rochon Garden: Strawberry Picking Season!



Strawberry season has begun! Myself (Ann Marie) and Jonathan were on CTV Morning Live this week talking about all things strawberries. In case you missed it and want to learn more about the strawberries we grow, click here to see the segments from the morning show. We had a blast talking about our strawberries and hanging out with the morning crew in the berry patch!

We started the season off right with a Strawberry Festival at our patch at 2245 York's Corners Road. Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy all the festivities and the strawberry picking! We had so much fun we're doing it again! Come out to the strawberry patch this Saturday, July 6 where the fun and picking continues!


You can pick-up all the great vegetables featured below at our CSA locations or Farmers Market locations.
