Thiessen Farms (est. 1947) is a small family farm growing vegetables, herbs & blackberries.
Our goal is to grow healthy produce that tastes great & looks great too!
Healthy produce comes from healthy soils. The use of compost & manure, cover crops, green manure, mulching, crop rotations & companion planting are some ways we maintain & improve our soils.
We love colour & we love variety!
On our farm we grow more than 80 kinds of tomatoes – from old heirlooms to modern hybrids – in all sizes, shapes & colours, along with 35 varieties of eggplant, 35 hot peppers, 15 sweet peppers, more than 30 kinds of squash …
In total, almost 400 varieties of at least 40 vegetables are grown, plus 50 different herbs.
We market our produce seasonally through our CSA (community supported agriculture) program and at 2 farmers’ markets – North York Farmers’ Market in Toronto and Downtown Georgetown Farmers’ Market in Georgetown
We are located in the Niagara region:
4132 Fifteenth Street
Jordan Station, Ontario

Hi Ron and Amy. You have been on my mind a lot in the past 6 weeks, wondering how you will cope with the upheaval in your usual ways of getting your wonderful produce to customers. We certainly hope you are able to return to the North York market and we will definitely attend – with masks, gloves, and whatever it takes.
Thank you for continuing to farm and bring healthy produce to our homes. We hope to see you in June. If not, we may have to take a drive to Jordan!
Be well. We wish you good weather and good health.
Jane (and Sandy)

Very sad to hear that you will not be back to North York if it reopens. I’ve been buying my plants and produce from you for a very long time. Even when I stopped working at the library there, I came back. Three weeks ago I had my last squash that I had bought from you. A spaghetti squash, it was in perfect shape but some of the seeds inside had started to sprout. With any luck, I’ll get a squash or two from the plants, and I will think of you.

Thank you Sheilah!
That will be the hardest part – not seeing all our long-time customers & friends again. Thank you for supporting us for many years.
And good luck with your squash plants!

If you have any hints on how to get female flowers as well as male on the squash plants, I’m all ears. I haven’t in the last couple of years.
