Farm-Direct Food & U-Pick around Cheney and Prescott-Russell
Prescott-Russell counts about 870 farms, and roughly one in eight sells directly to consumers — farm gates, U-pick fields, eggs, meat, honey and maple syrup. Opening days change with weather and crops, so the golden rule of farm-direct shopping is: call or check the farm’s own page the same day you go.

We are assembling a season-aware, source-verified guide to farms that genuinely sell at the gate around Cheney. Each future listing will state products, season window, payment options and whether kids and pets are welcome — with a “confirm before you drive” note on every record, as even Foodland Ontario advises.
What to confirm before you hire
What should I confirm before driving out?
Today’s opening status, what is actually ripe or in stock, payment methods (many gates are cash or e-transfer only), and whether picking requires containers or booking.
When are the main local seasons?
Roughly: maple in early spring, berries from late June, sweet corn and market vegetables through summer, apples and pumpkins in fall, and frozen meat, eggs, honey and preserves year-round from some farms.
Where else can I buy from local producers?
Seasonal markets — the Clarence-Rockland summer markets and nearby fairs bring many producers together in one stop; see our summer events page for verified dates.
Season note
July–September is peak season: berries, corn, market vegetables and the Clarence-Rockland outdoor markets.
