Who doesn't love the changing of the leaves, sweater weather, and all the fall colours? With Fall comes pumpkins peeking out of the green in our pumpkin patch. They're waiting for you... and almost ready to be picked! It's also about that time to start thinking about Thanksgiving - it's just around the bend! Forsythe Family [...]
Even though it doesn't quite feel like fall just yet, it's right around the corner. Fall is associated with Harvest, and of course Thanksgiving. If you're planning ahead (it's only a few weeks away!), you can put in your order now for a Thanksgiving turkey. Forsythe Family Farms 2009 Inc has naturally raised turkeys on the [...]
As Summer winds down, new flavours begin to pop up: early apples are starting to come in! The farm market at Forsythe Family Farms 2009 Inc currently has Paula Red and Ginger Gold apples in stock.

Usually in Farm Life Fridays I take a minute to look back on what's happened on the farm during the past week. This time, I'm going to look forward to some exciting opportunities coming up on the farm! Something I love about Forsythe Family Farms 2009 Inc. is their dedication to education.

Corn on the cob has always been one of my favourite parts of any summertime meal. My dad always grew a few rows of corn in his garden, and as the summer went on the stalks grew taller and taller and I could not wait until it was time to pick a few ears. Alongside a [...]
There's a lot going on at Forsythe Family Farms 2009 Inc. This weekend is their "Celebrate Honey" festivities! Come by the farm to learn about bees, how they pollinate, and all about honey.

I love walking back on Forsythe Farms 2009 Inc. to check out the raspberry bushes; lots of tasty red splashes of colour hiding among the green leaves. The raspberries are here in full force right now, as are Niagara fruits. Look forward to some juicy peaches, plums, and cherries! This is probably the most delicious [...]
