Where is Kettlehill Farm located?

We are located in the beautiful area of Ridgeville - 1821 Effingham Street.

Are we Organic?

Vegetables are grown totally pesticide free, however we are not certified organic. Farming practices like growing cover crops, applying compost, and mulching, continuously improves our soil. Better soil means healthier crops with less insects and disease. We also use row covers to protect plants from damaging pests.

Our fruit trees are closely monitored for pests and disease. Pesticides are applied when necessary.

There's no pesticide used on our sweet corn, which may result in some extra unwanted protein, the European corn borer, which poses no health threat, is clearly visible, and easily removed.  Small price to pay for the best corn in the Niagara Region!
