Get right to the source of Perth County’s local food culture! We are home to a variety of farm gate stores, self-serve stands, and seasonal pick-your-own experiences. Our Farm Gate Map will help you discover, locate, and experience all of Perth County's incredible agricultural offerings!
What To Expect |
While it is often a good idea to call ahead of your visit to ensure the farm gate you wish to visit is open, here’s an idea of what you can expect at different types of farm gates. Farm Gate Stand: These informal farm gate stands operate on a self-serve, honour system. Pull up to the stand, pick up your items, and deposit money in the container provided. You may or may not see someone operating the stand. Farm Gate Store: A more formal store located on a farm with posted operating hours. Note that hours may change seasonally. Local Food Shop: Not located on a farm, but a location that sells local food primarily sourced from Perth County farms. Home Based Sales: Sales take place from a personal home on a farm. You may see a sign, but no stand directly at the farm gate. |
