Brown's Farm
380 Drum Road L0A 1K0 Pontypool, ON, Canada

It’s a good day to be working on an outdoor project. We have been putting together some festive greens to warm up your outdoor space. It is our first Saturday indoors @peterboroughfarmersmarket and we will be there with all our regular veg and natural decor.... It’s going to be a beautiful weekend for being crafty! #crafty #decor #festivedecor #outdoorspace #porchdecor #getoutside #peterboroughontario #kawarthalakes

The life cycle of the farm is an amazing thing. Looking at it here from spring planting to flowering and growth to soil tillage puts it all into perspective. Respect the process. Respect Mother Nature. #farmlife #mothernature #balance #ecosystem #brownsfarms

Are you getting spooky this weekend? Modified Halloween is fast approaching. It is a good time to amp up the family quality time with fun pumpkin creations. This year we have had the pleasure of stocking our pumpkins at your favourite local spot @morellosyig and their outdoor display is a beautiful sea of that signature orange ... #locallove #modifiedhalloween #jackolantern #qualitytime

The sunflowers have escaped the frost and they are filling the world with some much needed joy. We will see you tomorrow @oshawacentre farmers market and again @pplfm and @peterboroughfarmersmarket on Saturday. Feeling like a trip to the farm? You can do that too! The farm store will be open this Sunday again from 9am to 6pm. Have a great weekend! (a little premature here but we are certainly feeling the weekend vibes!)... #brownsfarms #kawarthas #sunflowers #warmdayscoolnights #harvestingtime

Its Sunday! We hope you are having a great start to the day. We are open today with some of the best from our fall harvest (squash, tomatoes, peppers, eucalyptus bunches, sunflowers, and some dahlia bouquets that survived the frost). The store is self-serve accepting cash and etransfer from 9am to 6pm tonight. #farmgate #farmstore #explorekl #kawarthas #ontariofarmers

Tonight may very well mark the end of our flower journey for the season. They are forecasting four frosty nights in a row and weve done our best to collect what we can out of the fields. We are hoping for the best and a bit of luck ... As always, you can catch us tomorrow @oshawacentre farmers market, Saturday @pplfm and @peterboroughfarmersmarket and Sunday at our farm store. Bungle up and hope to see you then! #brownsfarms #frostynights #fallharvest #ontariofarmers #sweaterweather #brisk #explorekl

This little one is in the gardens doing some independent dahlia discovery. They are a fascinating, show stopping, flower and certainly one of our favs! They are in full bloom this time of year and bouquets will be packed full of them this weekend. #brownsfarms #ontarioflowers #dahlia #learningaboutflowers #farmboy

The thing about farm life is that there is always something to do! We are busy clearing old fences from the new farm so that it can be used for future years crops. Pictured here is the truck that moves out the big rocks. The kiddos in this picture give you some sense of scale! #rocktruck #farmlife #makingitbeautiful

A smoking hot deal for smoking hot summer days. These are traditional red watermelons (with seeds!) that come around only once a year for two or three weeks. They are in their prime right now and will be here for this small window in time. #dontmissit #sojuicy

Its watermelon harvest! These are our Sangria red watermelon (traditional with seeds). Cool off this weekend with a locally grown melon. #localontarioproduce #watermelon #kawarthalakes #brownsfarms #tiktok

Here it comes...its canning season! #masonjars #sauce #salsa #kawarthas #tomatoseason #brownsfarms

The big iron is on the new farm this week clearing the overgrown fence rows. Charlotte and Ben really enjoy watching scoop, dump and rubble. @jafallisexcavating Next year this ground will be used for our vegetable fields. More updates on the transformation to come.

A little about rain....

We are very thankful for the tremendous support that has come from you, our community. You have connected with us online, continued coming out to support us at our markets, and have even ventured out on a country drive to support us at our farm in a difficult year to navigate. We are sharing a quick video message of our gratitude here and we hope to continue seeing all of you in the weeks and months to come. ... PSA we need more practice doing our videos so this is us and enjoy! #notmoviestars #admittedlytired #verygateful #localfarmers #thisisus

The Garden Room is OPEN again today for self serve veg and flowers from 9am to 6pm. On tap today are fresh field tomatoes, peppers, tomatillos, basil, melons, beans, glads, and fresh cut bouquets. Weve also added a few Ontario grown peaches and corn to compliment your dinner table. #farmstore #gardenroom #brownsfarms #explorekawarthalakes

Glads are at their peak weeks right now. They are a traditional flower for decoration, a bright way to spruce up an open house, or a thoughtful way to give a gift to someone that you care about. Some might also say that they are a clever way to get you out of the house! Pick your own creation of colours this weekend at one of our Markets or stop into our self serve farm store on Sunday (9am to 6pm). Address in our profile! #goodthingsgrowinontario #ontarioflowers #gladiolus #pontypoolontario #kawarthalakes

We are having a FLASH sale at the Garden Room farm store TODAY. Self serve open until 8pm. Pop in a grab a deal if you are in the area or just stretch your legs and take in the country views.

A taste of Mexico grown locally right here in Pontypool. Try something new this long weekend by making an fresh green salsa or using it in a marinade. Not sure how to use them? Consult our lead farm boss @martinezisrael632 for the grow cycle and methods to a tomatillo. #somethingnew #keepitfresh #keepitlocal #tomatillo

For many years you have all supported our glads in one way or another. We try to keep it fresh and add new unique colours. We are pretty excited about this one for 2020! They have large blooms and a strong stem with a mix of maroon and purple. #pamelaplum #ontariogrownflowers #newaddition
