Seedlings out the door by mid-March.
Field crops from July.

A family-run grower based in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Since 2021 we've raised vegetable, herb, and flower seedlings in our five-acre greenhouse and supplied them to partner garden shops across the Niagara region and the GTA — wholesale by the tray, retail by the single. In 2026 we're adding 65 acres of Roma tomatoes and Music garlic on open field in Hamilton.

65 acres in Hamilton, starting this year.

After five seasons running the greenhouse, the operation is moving into field crops at scale. Hamilton fits the brief — good soil, fair rent, close enough to keep both sites on the same operations rhythm. Year one is Roma tomatoes and Music garlic; a third crop is on the bench for 2027 once the first field season shows us what it should be.

Roma tomatoes

Paste tomatoes for fresh-market and processing buyers. First harvest expected late July 2026.

Music garlic

Hardneck, large cloves, strong flavour. Planted October 2026 for July 2027 harvest. Pre-orders open in spring.

About us.

Ontario Veggies is a family-run grower. We started in 2021 with a five-acre greenhouse in Niagara-on-the-Lake and a single objective: raise vegetable and herb seedlings for the regional garden shops that kept asking us where to source them. Five seasons in, we ship wholesale trays to partner shops across Niagara and the GTA and supply singles to home growers through those same shops and our seasonal pop-ups.

2026 marks our expansion into open-field production: 65 acres in Hamilton, planted to Roma tomatoes and Music garlic. It's our first field season — we'd rather be upfront about that than overstate it. Year two and beyond will be shaped by what year one teaches us.

Garden shops interested in stocking our seedlings, buyers looking for field crops, or anyone curious about the operation can reach us by email — that's the fastest route during season.

How to reach us.

Email is fastest. During season (Feb–Oct) we read everything the same day. The office line is best for pop-up schedule, pickup times, and anything time-sensitive.
