About
Our Family Farm
At Howe Family Farms we love flavor and we love variety, which is why we love to experiment with numerous varieties of each crop on our Ontario farm. The flavor profile can change so much from variety to variety whether its a tomato, strawberry, watermelon, squash… anything really.
Locally Grown
A Family tradition
Our Crops
Grown with care
Each year we seem to go a little bit overboard by planting an incredible amount of different varieties. The fruits and vegetables we grow are like children to us… and like children, they can sometimes be a bit of a headache to raise. We grow 16 crops; strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, pumpkin, squash, tomatoes, peppers, kale, okra, eggplant, zucchini, lettuce, herbs, beans, peas, and sweet corn.
Handpicked
Farm Fresh
That’s 16 kids! Out of those 16 kids we like to plant multiple varieties; those are the characteristics of each child. Like a parent, we foster the good characteristics (ie flavor, appearance, quality) and discipline the negative characteristics (ie bitterness, poor shelf-life etc). This can be complicated since everyone’s taste buds are different, but we do our best to please our customers!
