3 spring updates from Rowe Farms

It feels like spring just got here but in the blink of an eye, it’s nearly June and the official start of summer is just weeks away. We have plenty to look forward to in the weeks ahead! There’s a lot going on around the farm and in our retail stores this time of year, which makes it a good time to touch base and share a few updates and reminders from the Rowe Farms team. So, here we go! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We’d be glad to speak with you.

Our farmers’ pastures are thriving

After a long winter and a brief muddy stretch, we’re pleased to share that our farming partners have cattle on pasture. This image below was taken at Hillview Farm in Haldimand Country on Wednesday, May 28th—it was rainy, but look at that greenery! The fields are already looking lush, and we’re seeing plenty of nutritious clover and native grasses growing across the fields. It’s a beautiful sight—there are birds everywhere, the soil is healthy and rich with insect life, the plant life is thriving and the cattle are doing their thing (mowing down on those lush green pastures, irrigating the soil with their movement and leaving compost behind). We love seeing holistic management in action!

Our shelves are bursting with high quality local products

In addition to delectable Ontario beef, poultry and pork products, our shelves are bursting with incredible items sourced from local artisans and food producers. We’ve got fresh bread from local bakers, honey from Rosewood Estates Winery, small batch artisan granola from Bayfield Provisions, delicious baked goods from New Moon Cookies, naturally-flavoured sparkling beverages from The County Bounty Artisanal Soda Co., Covered Bridge chips, Mad Mexican dips, plus fresh local dairy products from Jensen Cheese, MC Dairy and Summit Station. Their chocolate milk is a must-try! We’ve also got fresh produce including plenty of Ontario asparagus (in store while supplies last). Do not miss out on this stuff—it’s from a farm in the Delhi area, and it’s the best asparagus you’ll get all year.

This is just a small sample of what’s available in store, so please shop in person to explore even more products. Our staff would be happy to offer their recommendations!
