Whittamore’s Farm is offering their customers one last season to enjoy the family farm before they close their gates in November.

The 2017 season kicks off on May 3, inviting customers in for a final chance to pick-your-own fruits and vegetables and experience the recognized Whittamore family Farm Shop, as well as Fun Farm Yard and fall Pumpkinland activities.

Whittamore family has been farming the land at 8100 Steeles Ave. since 1804.

The 330-acre farm located next to the Rouge River Valley has been offering a pick-your-own strawberry and raspberry operation since the mid 1950s.

“We have been offering this experience to families in Markham and across the GTA for over 60 years. We are making the change to rebalance our lives and pursue other interests and opportunities,” said Mike Whittamore, the farm’s pick-your-own owner/operator.

The Whittamores will continue to own and farm the land.

“It has been a privilege to operate this business, and we are grateful for our loyal customers, our amazing employees and everyone who has been part of the Whittamore’s Farm family,” said Frank Whittamore, owner/operator of Whittamore’s Farm Shop and Fun Farm Yard.
