Seasonality is Reality WHAT'S IN SEASON?

Ontario has four seasons. Many advances have been made to expand the growing season from weeks to several months. Because of our seasonality, different crops are harvested at different times of the year. Click on a month below to view the availability of Ontario’s bounty.

Maple Syrup, honey, mushrooms, eggs, and meat are generally available year round at Ontario Farms.  NOTE: Dates are approximate and may vary according to location and the season.
