About Us
Orville Johnston dreamed of a thriving cranberry industry in Ontario with Muskoka at its centre. After meeting his wife-to-be June at McGill University, where he was studying agriculture and she was studying home economics, he bought land in Bala and began building their future. Their passion was for growing food, raising a family of four and making products with the fruit they grew. Orv and June passed that passion onto their children.

We're lucky enough to live and farm in the beautiful Muskoka region in Ontario - an area known for rugged granite outcroppings, pristine lakes and cool, green forests. In addition to our family, our farm supports a host of wildife and ecology. Our farming philosophy begins with the principle of land stewardship. We farm to have the least amount of impact possible on the environment. We want to preserve what we love about this area for our children and protect it for future generations.

We believe solving global challenges starts with local responsibility. We do this through creating a sustainable, family farm and supporting our local community.
Practices
Our mission is to grow, distribute and sell premium cranberries, excellent wine and quality products with a commitment to land stewardship and environmentally sensitive growing practices to give our customer a quality product they can trust.
