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.
