For us, this event is about more than just a great day out. It’s an opportunity to connect our community with what really goes into getting fresh vegetables onto their plate. Many people drive past our fields every day, but don’t always see the full picture. From growing and harvesting, through to washing, packing, preparing and distributing at scale, there’s a significant operation behind every carrot.​

 

Our factory tours gave visitors a firsthand look at just how much work, care and coordination is involved. As Mark often says, growing the vegetables is sometimes the easier part.

 

At the same time, the Carrot Festival is about opening our doors and creating a space for the community to enjoy some simple, genuine fun. From tractor and machinery displays to carrot digging, hunts, maple glazed carrots and face painting, it’s a chance to slow down and enjoy the farm in a hands-on way.​

 

Importantly, we keep the day accessible. With free entry and activities, it’s a low-cost day out for families, something we know matters in the current climate. It’s one small way we can give back to the community that supports us.

 

We’re proud to share what we do, and even prouder to do it alongside such a great community.​

 

We’d love your feedback as we look ahead to next year. What worked well? What could we do better?
