Van Dyken Bros. We are a family-run Pick Your Own Farm located just north of Toronto. PLEASE CALL BEFORE YOU COME TO CHECK IF WE ARE OPEN AND CROP AVAILABILITY.

STORING ONIONS...
~Pick onions with tops that are LIMP & FALLEN over.
~ if cutting tops off, LEAVE ABOUT A 2” STEM
~LAY onions OUT in a single layer in your garage or shed for a couple of weeks to DRY. (…on a tarp or large piece of cardboard makes for easy clean up!)
~ after dried, gather them into your bushel for storing in a COOL, DARK, DRY PLACE…sort through your bushel every month for SOFT ONIONS and put them on top to USE FIRST.

Crops can vary from year to year when they become ready, and we may have to close a field or patch from time to time if it's picked out, so please call 905-857-3561 before you come and listen to the message to find out what's currently available...

The following is a general field crop calendar:

Normally Sweet peas are ready around the last week of June, and the first couple weeks of July.

Cucumbers, Zucchini, and Green beans generally start somewhere in the middle to end of July, and continue throughout August and September.

Romano beans, Cannellini Beans, and Eggplants usually start toward the end of July or beginning of August, and continue until the end of September.

Peppers and Tomatoes Can vary quite a bit, but usually begin around the middle of August, with the main season more in September.

Onions for fresh use usually begin the middle of August, but are not usually ready for picking bushels for the winter, until the beginning of September.

Rapini generally begins around the middle to end of September, and continues until November.

Again, Crops can vary from year to year when they become ready and we may have to close the patch from time to time if it is picked out to allow new growth, so please call before you come to check their availability.
