Thames River Melons
About
Our farm began in 1984 when our owner and head farmer Rob decided to experiment with growing one acre of cantaloupe. At the time, growing melons in Ontario was somewhat unusual! But in the end, the risk was worth it. Today, we have expanded to over 500 acres of produce ranging from rhubarb and asparagus in the spring, to strawberries and melons in the summer, to squash and pumpkins in the fall. We also produce a line of preserves including jams, jellies, pickles, sauces, and spreads all made fresh from our produce, as well as honey made from beehives located in our fields.
We sell our farm produce and preserves to a local grocery stores and retailers, at a variety of farmers’ markets across Southwestern Ontario, and we offer home delivery through our Market Box program, which runs from May - November each season. Finally, we welcome guests to visit on-farm from May - December to pick-their-own produce, shop in our Farm Market, and snack from our Farm Kitchen and Farm Food Truck.
