LATEST FROM THE FARM

Carrot Fest is a day when our community comes together to harvest thousands of pounds of carrots that will nourish us throughout the winter. On Saturday, September 26 from 10am-2pm we’ll get our hands in the soil and work side by side to pick, wash, and pack the harvest, and then celebrate with good food, music, local vendors, and plenty of community fun.

We’ve been dreaming about a farm-to-table dining experience right here on the Farm for years, and we’re excited to finally bring it to life with our new Field to Fork Dinner Series in partnership with Brian’s Table. Join us for an unforgettable seasonal dining experience where the harvest leads the menu, Chef Brian brings the ingredients to life, and Farmer Jo shares the stories behind the food from field to fork.

Have you ever picked up a beautiful, locally grown organic tomato at the Farm Store and wondered why it costs more than the one at the grocery store? It's a fair question. When prices are compared side by side, local organic produce can seem expensive. But behind every tomato is a story, and a lot more work than many people realize.

We believe the people behind your food deserve to be celebrated just as much as the food itself. Ottawa Farm Fresh began with a simple idea: grow healthy food, care for the land, and build community. Today, that vision is brought to life by a small but mighty team!
