big news!
our farmstore, yes, our very own farmstore opened on saturday, september 23rd

getting here
we are located at 598 ridge road west in grimsby, ontario
please book your visit at vauxhallgardens.ca
*bio-security caveat: here's the thing, when our new website goes live, each visit to our farm will require a completed bio-security form. due to our farms' location, you will be visiting sacred land with unesco bio-sphere reserve designation and strict *oversight* from the niagara escarpment commission. wonderful, yes, but as a commercial enterprise, we are now *gatekeepers* to this robust eco-system and are dutybound to keep it flourishing which makes collecting information from visitors a *best practice*. we also do a lot of plant research here *without politics* which is good and fine for growing/extracting/manufacturing and website sales but when you add *in-person retail* into the mix, well, the compliance landscape is unforgiving. we are collecting details of your visit for the sole purpose of contact tracing in the unlikely possibility of a catastrophic event occurring that would deem the information useful. full stop.
if you are coming from toronto ...
the fastest way is to take the qew and exit at fifty road. head south up the escarpment on fifty road and turn left on ridge road. we are about 3 kms from fifty road on the north side of ridge
may we suggest ... why not exit the qew at centennial road and head south up the escarpment and turn left on ridge road at the top of the hill
a beautiful scenic drive awaits you!
if you are coming from niagara falls ...
the fastest way is to take the qew and exit at fifty road. head south up the escarpment on fifty road and turn left on ridge road. we are about 3 kms from fifty road on the north side of ridge
may we suggest ... ridge road starts/ends at thirty road in beamsville. why not meander along the escarpment and discover some true niagara flavour!
when you arrive
there is a nice, wide shoulder for parking right in front of the farmstore. if there is no room on the north side of ridge road, park on the west side of hysert road as far off the road as you can manage
please be careful crossing ridge road as it can get busy on saturday's with everyone out and about
enter gate by farmstand and follow signs to farmstore entrance
the fine print
the entire farm is 19+
please, no dogs - we have a very territorial farm dog (she is people friendly tho!)
the key is peace and being at one with the environment, please respect
