The farm has been in the Whittamore family since 1804. As seen in our logo, this is Frank, Mike and Dave Whittamore's great-grandfather, Joe Lapp (circa 1890) working the same lands where our customers enjoy picking today.

Market gardening has been in the Whittamore's family business for many years. From the early 1920's to the 1950's, Frank J. Whittamore sold vegetables door to door in the North Toronto (Yonge & St. Clair) area. In 1952, Frank's son Gilbert bought a 50 acre farm on Steeles Avenue in southeast Markham. Here he grew vegetables to be wholesaled at the Toronto Food Terminal as well as local retail markets. Evelyn Lapp married Gilbert and they established a small pick-your-own strawberry and raspberry operation in the late 50's and early 60's. Over the next 50 years the farm expanded in its variety of crops and today their sons run one of the largest pick-your-own and farm market operations in Ontario. This 220 acre farm welcomes close to 200,000 customers annually.
