Simply put, we hand farm all our vegetables and fruits using organic methods in order to nourish You and our planet with our very best.

Food Simplified

We care about our customers and our planet. That is why we grow high quality produce without the bells and whistles. There are no import fees, no fancy packaging fees, and no complex food system costs passed onto you. We hand-farm using traditional and organic methods in order to preserve the earth's natural richness. We love the land, we are passionate about farming, and we want you to relish in the fruit of our labour by tasting food as mother nature intended.

ABOUT US
About Us

     Sparrow Gardens is a market farm that grows a wide range and steady supply of fresh produce through the local growing season. We are located on the border of Markham, Pickering, and Stouffville. Our land is encircled by fellow farmers growing apples, berries, herbs, garlic, and honeybees. What a place for us to sow seeds, set down roots, and blossom! We will be growing your old time favourite veggies as well as a line up of heirloom varieties to liven up your kitchen table.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I get to choose what types of vegetables and fruits go into my weekly farm share?

Yes. Every week you will receive a list of available products to choose from. Our farmer will pack your farm share specifically for you on the day of your scheduled pick up.  If you are needing help deciding, a Farmer's Choice bag can be provided with the best crops available chosen by our farmer.

​

2. How do you decide how much of each vegetable type I get? 

We follow industry standard measurements and weigh out every bag or bunch of produce you receive. For example, for the share size that feeds three to four people, you will get 130 grams of salad greens with each order, 200 grams of sugar snap peas, or 300+ grams of tomatoes in each container.

A note from our farmer
SG03_edited.png

My name is Tasha Kang and my passion for growing plants and animals started a long time ago. I have been farming professionally since 2017 and I can't imagine my life without it. I am grateful to be able to provide such high quality foods to our customers, and also be able to use what I do to help communities in poverty. I am so excited for the coming farm season and being able to share the harvest of Sparrow Gardens.

We donate farm fresh vegetables to local charity food programs.   

We believe that locally grown and nutritious foods must be accessible and available to marginalized and vulnerable communities. Sparrow Gardens grows vegetables for the M.I.N.D. community kitchen (see www.mindprogram.org for more information). This is our way of helping to tackle some of the food insecurity issues faced by residents in the south-west Scarborough area.
