Looking for a farm shop in Ontario? Start with Moore Farms Store in Ayr, then Millers Farm and Market south of Manotick in Ottawa, and Reesor’s Farm Market in Markham. Each one publishes its own address, hours and a list of what the farm grows.
A farm trip is more useful when it starts with the food you want. You can buy strawberries or corn in season, collect eggs and pantry food for the week, or choose a picking visit. You do not have to make every stop do everything.
Which farm shop or picking farm should you choose?
Moore Farms is the year-round store in Ayr, with berries and vegetables the family grows and other produce from Southwestern Ontario. Millers is the Ottawa stop, south of Manotick, with a market shed and a garden centre on the same farm. Reesor’s Farm Market in Markham is the June to October market, with the farm’s own strawberries and sweet corn and pick-your-own in those seasons.
Check the farm’s current crops, opening times and prices before travelling. Picking seasons vary, and a farm shop may sell produce without offering pick-your-own visits. This guide is Ontario. It is not a list for every province.

A century farm that still grows the berries
Moore’s own site says the family has farmed this land since 1916, and that fourth and fifth generation farmers work it now. The farm store grew out of the pick-your-own strawberry patch. The farm grows strawberries, sweet corn, peas, beans, garlic and radish, and it says the rest of the produce is sourced from other farmers in Southwestern Ontario. It also says it uses a no-till method on the produce crops. The email on the site is mooresberries@gmail.com.
Visiting and buying
The site gives the store hours as Monday to Saturday 9am to 6pm and Sunday 10am to 5pm, and says the store is open year round. It also says the farm may close on snow and ice days, and to check Facebook or Instagram, or call or text, before you drive. The Longhorn Smokehouse food truck on the site was listed as closing for the season on 31 October 2026, with catering still by enquiry. Confirm the truck before you treat it as part of the shop.

A strawberry patch that became the market

The page lists hothouse tomatoes and cucumbers, fresh garlic, farm eggs, tarts, scones and cookies, jams, pickles, local honey, maple syrup, frozen strawberries, raspberries and wild blueberries, and bake-at-home frozen pies. The greenhouses are also described as selling hanging baskets, seedlings and herbs.
Visiting and buying
The same page gives two schedules, so read it before you go. It says the 2026 farm and market shed is open seven days, 8am to 5pm, and it also says the market store is open Thursday and Friday 10am to 4pm through the off season. The office hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm.

Strawberries and corn from the Markham farm
Reesor’s own market page says the Markham farm market runs from June to October and sells produce grown on the farm and on other Ontario farms, including the farm’s own strawberries and sweet corn. Pies and cookies are baked in the market. The page also lists frozen prepared meals, including gluten-free meals, preserves, frozen meats and cut flowers. Ready-picked strawberries open the season. Pick-your-own strawberries are usually late June into early July, and pick-your-own pumpkins close the season in October. The page says pets are not allowed in the fields or the market.
Visiting and buying
The page gives Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6.30pm, for the June to October season. It does not describe a winter shop at this address. The year-round bakery the same business names is a different address, 5758 Main Street, Stouffville, on 905-640-2270. Do not treat the Stouffville bakery as the Markham field.

Plan your farm visit, produce, quantities and picking dates
Choose one or two farms that fit your route. Write down what you want, how much you need and what you will do with it when you get home. If one crop is unavailable, decide whether to choose a different farm, change the meal or return another day.
- Confirm the crop, public opening and any booking requirement.
- Ask whether you can pick yourself or buy already picked.
- Check the price unit, payment method and containers.
- Ask about access, parking and the correct visitor entrance.
Farm shop and fruit-picking questions
Are these shops open all year?
Moore Farms says its Ayr store is open year round, with possible closures on snow and ice days. Millers publishes both a seven-day 2026 shed schedule and shorter off-season days, so check the page. Reesor’s Farm Market in Markham is described as June to October.
Can I pick at every farm?
No. Moore’s store grew out of a strawberry patch, and Reesor’s offers pick-your-own strawberries and pumpkins in season. A market shed can sell ready-picked food without opening a field. Ask the farm.
Where are the other Canadian provinces?
