WHAT TO EXPECT
Here’s an idea what you can expect at different types of farm gates. It is often a good idea to check online or call ahead of your visit to ensure the farm gate you wish to visit is open.
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 sources and sells primarily local food sources 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.
