Loco Fields is an organic (non-certified) vegetable grower located just outside Stratford, Ontario.

Our products are made available through farmer's markets in Toronto, Kitchener, Stratford, and through our own distribution to restaurants in southern Ontario and via small independent retailers and grocery stores. We also have recently begun sales with distributors and other wholesalers.

Our primary growing is now carried out directly in the soil under 60,000 sq ft of unheated tunnels and greenhouses as well as some field prodcution

With the focus on greenhouse culture, we operate all year and are less dependent on large single harvests. Our busiest seasons are spring and fall with time for vacation during the summer and winter months We are constantly evolving with new projects and ever-changing crops, and have an appetite for the unusual. Crop trials and research are a big part of what keeps us fresh

There is a strong focus on sustainability on the farm, we have always grown our produce organically without the use of any chemicals. Soil health and the future of the planet, on the whole, are not an afterthought. We use mínimal fossil fuels, and choose humans over machines.
