Where to Find Us
YOU’RE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE
One of our favourite things about the farm is that we’re able to share it with so many people in so many different ways.
However you choose to experience Thames River Melons, whether it’s a morning in the sunshine picking berries, a wave to a friendly face at one of our market stands, or opening your door to a box of farm fresh produce arriving on your porch, know that we’re grateful and excited to see you.
Experience Thames River Melons firsthand by visiting us on the farm. No prebooking or gate fee required. Our farm retail location is home to our Farm Shop, Pick-Your-Own Patches, Farm Kitchen, Farm Food Truck, and event spaces.
Plus, say hi to our chickens and cows, wander the forest trail, and watch your kids enjoy the fresh air in our childrens' play area. Stop by for a fresh berry milkshake, to pick-your-own seasonal produce, or to stock up on local goods from our shop. We’d love for you to visit and say hello!

We make our smash burgers from our own Black Angus beef and serve them on baked-from-scratch buns with farm-crafted sauces and fresh-cut fries. Our burgers go great with our old-fashioned milkshakes (strawberry is a hit!), and better yet, everything is made from our own produce. A truly farm to table dining experience! Grab a picnic table and soak up the fresh country air.

Strawberries from June - early July
Raspberries in July
Blueberries from July - early September
