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.

    • Meet the Bees
      Put on a suit and follow our beekeeper, Nathan, to the hives, where you’ll learn about beekeeping practices and bee biology. Once you’re finished at the hives, you’ll head back to the farm for a sweet snack and a take-home treat. LEARN MORE.

PICK-YOUR-OWN

Be a farmer for the day and get your hands dirty in one of our PYO patches! You'll be able to harvest a wide range of our crops at our most accessible price point.

  • Berry picking is a quintessential summer experience! You can enjoy it as a peaceful solo outing or a fun group activity.

    Choose from strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. And if you're lucky, you may visit during that magical time when all three are available at the same time!

    A rough timeline for each can be found below:

    • Strawberries from June - early July

    • Raspberries in July

    • Blueberries from July - early September

    *Please note that we cannot guarantee exact dates for our picking seasons ahead of time, as this varies slightly year to year. For the most up to date details and current crops, check out our PYO page or follow us on Instagram

  • You've probably heard of berry picking, but did you know that here at Thames River Melons you can also pick-your-own vegetables?

    With nearly 30 crops to choose from, your farm-to-table meal is just a few snapped stems away. From asparagus and rhubarb in May to carrots and peppers in the summer to squash and sweet potatoes in the fall, there's something for everyone!

    *Please note that we cannot guarantee exact dates for our picking seasons ahead of time, as this varies slightly year to year. For the most up to date details and current crops, check out our PYO page or follow us on Instagram

  • As the leaves begin to change colours and the air turns crisp and cool, our fall PYO items roll into season.

    Visit our Pumpkin Patch and Apple Orchard during September and October. And while you're at it, try our annual Corn Maze, a new design each year!
