Grown from forest to table — berries and nuts tended with patience in South Niagara, Ontario.
"We didn't build a farm. We listened to the forest."
Turaida Forest Garden began as a quiet experiment — a smattering of unique berries and nut tree seedlings. Over the years, the garden grew into something wilder and more generous than we imagined.
We grow in the forest's rhythm: no rush, no shortcuts. What comes from this land carries the taste of real seasons — cold winters, slow springs, and the particular sweetness of an Ontario summer.
Every harvest is shaped by the season before it.
Haskaps, gooseberries, jostaberries, blackberries, currants, and elderberries — grown in the dappled shade of the forest edge. Each variety is chosen for flavour, not shelf life. Picked at peak ripeness, never before.
Hazelnuts, heartnuts, buartnuts, pecans, and hickory — rich, earthy, and deeply flavourful. The kind of nut you can't find in a grocery store.
Throughout the season we also offer flowers and jams at our roadside stand. The forest always has something to give.
