Barrie Hill Farms in Springwater, Ontario, has announced it will reopen for the 2026 season this May. The second-generation family farm, located in Springwater, plans to start the year with its asparagus harvest and the opening of its local farm market.
The farm typically runs its market and seasonal activities from May through October, providing the community with access to fresh produce. While the market opens in the spring, the popular pick-your-own strawberry season is expected to begin in late June once the crops have fully matured.
In addition to strawberry picking, the farm offers school tours and seasonal items such as blueberries, raspberries, and apples later in the year. The farm uses a pre-paid picking policy to help manage the number of visitors and ensure everyone has a chance to enjoy the fields.
Because the harvest depends on local weather conditions, the farm provides regular updates on field status through its official website and newsletter. This allows local families and food enthusiasts to plan their visits for the freshest possible produce throughout the 2026 season.
