Mackay Farms
About our Garden
We grow approximately 30 types and varieties of vegetables. We use organic and regenerative growing methods and farm in ways that protect and improve the natural environment. Since the farm was purchased in 2008, we have been working hard to improve soil health, create a carbon sink, increase species diversity, create spaces for pollinators, and limit our waste. We are also working hard to connect to and share our knowledge with the local community.
Our fresh vegetables are available at the Elora Farmers’ Market, various local restaurants in Elora, and at the farm through our CSA Program and our on-farm stand.
Mission
