The Winter Garden

Fiesta Farms employees have been canning and pickling all summer and fall to preserve Ontario’s delicious harvest.

Produce arrives within hours of being picked in the fields, the team gathers it up then begins transforming fruit, berries and vegetables into Strawberries in Balsamic, Cherries in Ice Wine, Chilly Dilly Green Beans, Sticky Pear Butter, Indian Cauliflower Chutney…..the list goes on.

The amount of local fruits and vegetables produced from May to October is just too much to eat, so they must be preserved. Every true canner knows that what is good fresh can be better in a Mason jar.

Fiesta Farms new line of preserves, “Take Me Home”, use no fillers or additives and are made with 90% Ontario product (we had to go out of province for lemons and the like!). Coming across the “Take Me Home” display is like discovering a bountiful farmer’s market in winter.

“Take Me Home” preserves can be purchased seperately or as part of a Foodland Ontario basket.
