Wild Leek Farm

Wild Leek Farm Wild Leek Farm sits just outside the city of Guelph. We grow to meet or do better than the Canadian Organic Standards. I hope you’ll come see for yourself.

We currently produce all manner of vegetables from our 1 acre market garden, and hope to include fruit, hops, mushrooms, and maybe even maple syrup, in coming seasons. We are a female run small business, owned and operated by me, Danie McAren, mom of three and lover of great food. I moved my family to Ontario from BC in 2013 so I could work towards a science degree in Organic Agriculture at the Un

iversity of Guelph. I very much enjoyed the opportunities this awarded me. Most notably, attending tropical agriculture field school in Costa Rica, and agro-ecological field school in Cuba. I am extremely passionate about what small ecologically minded farming can bring to the table.

Hey Y'all. A lot of folks have been reaching out to find out when the stand/online store will be up and running this season. Long story short - and a better adieu is forthcoming - this year didn't come together as planned and that means no produce I'm afraid.

Hey there curious followers and beloved long time customers. I wanted to take a moment to announce that this will be the...

Hey there curious followers and beloved long time customers. I wanted to take a moment to announce that this will be the final season for Wild Leek Farm.

It has been quite a ride. From incredible highs (offering csa shares full of beautiful vibrant and earth friendly local produce to 46 individuals/families - all from this little 3/4 acre plot) to the dreary lows (eg discovering meadow voles chopped down 90% of your seedlings in one night) this adventure has been an honour.

I have been passionately focused on this venture for over a decade, and while I will always grow food for the love of it, I will be heading in a new direction after this season's close.

I do hope many of you will come out this summer, if for no other reason than to say hello and catch up. I will run an on farm market during the week and on the weekend (likely Wednesday afternoon/eve, and Sunday late morning) from the end of June through the end of October.

Keep an eye out for more details as we approach that lovely abundant time of year.

Much love to all of you who have supported me in learning, building, and running this farm in any way you have: babysitting, words of encouragement, manning a rake, showing up to buy produce on a rainy morning, or simply telling friends about our markets etc. It has all been so very appreciated.

Thank you. 🩷🍅

Squash Sale. Lots of autumn frost (specialty butternut type), and Futsu pumpkin, left and in need of a home. Priced per item in our online store. Both types are excellent roasted or bbq’d, bake and scoop out the flesh to add to muffins, biscuits, bread and soups. Cut up into soups, curries, and roast cubes for veggie bowls. They make great pies too as they are somewhat sweeter and dryer than traditional pumpkin. Wholesale orders may be possible - please contact to discuss.

New Year planning. Busy taking stock of my current seed supply, to inform my order for this year. Plus, trying to wrap my head around Airtable, to build out a new farm plan. So far seems promising. Might be snowy and blustery outside, but indoors farm season 2024 is already underway.
