Nick and Lynda Van Casteren bought this Phelpston farm in 1982, and Shane and Melissa Van Casteren own it now. The farm market opens seven days a week, with beef, pork and chicken raised on the farm and by partner farms in Ontario, garden vegetables, and pies, loaves and tarts from its own bakery. Highland cattle, donkeys and mini ponies can be visited for free during store hours, and groceries can be ordered online.
