Tell us about yourself! Hobbies? Fun facts? How did you get started?

We have been lifetime farmers in the community, from dairy farming, to crop farming and greenhouse produce. It's a great feeling to be able to provide fresh, crisp produce to our community and partners (restaurants and resellers), while doing what we love.

Define your business in your own words. 

We provide Fresh Produce; Our greenhouse was expanded in 2009 to increase space to a half-acre. This included 2 full houses of cherry and grape tomatoes, 5 houses of beefsteak and cluster tomatoes and 2 houses of flowers. In 2010 three additional hoop houses were added to accommodate increasing demand for flowers from our two retail greenhouses as well as for our custom floral orders. In 2016, we started growing mixed lettuce greens in 2 of the flower houses during the fall and winter months. Forman Farms operates under a sound Environmental Farm Plan in accordance with Canadian standards. We use compost on our farm fields and renewable energy crops to heat the greenhouse. Forman Farms is a member of Local Flavours, an organization that promotes local food producers.

What business achievement are you most proud of?

Starting a greenhouse is one of the most satisfying endeavors I have taken on, on our country farm. There's a natural gratitude and pride that comes from watching our seeds or cuttings grow into large, salable plants, until one day—before you know it—I have myself a business that benefits the environment and supports our community with healthy produce and beautiful flowers.

Why did you choose to start your business in Gananoque/Leeds and the Thousand Islands?

My husband and I have been here for years; raising our 3 children here...it's "home"

What words would you use to describe Gananoque/Leeds and the Thousand Islands?

One of the most beautiful places in the world; we have much green space, with amenities close by and a very supportive community.

What is one item/service in your business customers don't know you offer?

Cut Flowers and Garlic

Provide a message to your future guests!

Please check us out on Facebook, online at Forman Farms.ca or visit our Market Stand on Brewers Mills Road for contactless produce.

If you could describe your business in one word, what would it be? 

Fresh
