Fenwick Berry Farm

Wholesale Barn 1760 Balfour St. Fenwick, Ontario L0S 1C0 Office: 1367 Balfour St. Fenwick, Ontario L0S 1C0 Fenwick Berry Farm is a first generation family farm. We have been farming since 1999 with the help of our family & employees. Currently we farm close to 150 acres in Fenwick. We are a first generation family farm. We strive to be good stewards of our land through sustainable agricultural practices. We rotate our crops and fallow fields with seeds to improve soil health. Maintaining healthy soil and plants yield the highest quality fruits and vegetables for our customers. |
We are so thankful for all the help we receive during the summer months. We are committed to ensure our fields and orchards are a healthy and safe place for our family, friends and employees.
As part of our Integrated Pest Management Program we use biological controls. The alyssum banker plants in our berry fields allow us to attract native beneficial insects to reduce the use of pesticides on our plants. Using alyssum is a sustainable pest management practice, which keeps harmful bugs from damaging our plants and fruit.
Most of our berries are planted on raised beds with an agricultural mulch to eliminate or reduce the use of herbicides on the plants. We incorperate the use of straw in our fields to keep the plants clean and control the weeds. When we plant the fruit on the farm, we use trickle irrigation, the most efficient watering method, so our plants and trees are watered at their roots, where they need it most.
At Fenwick Berry Farm, our fruit is delicious and nutritious, because it is carefully hand picked, fresh for you!
