Happy Canadian Ag Day!!
Today we celebrate the farmers who keep us all fed!! Thank you farmers!!!

We’re proud to support local farmers every day, even though the township of Scugog didn't support us.
Imagine all the local farmers we could have supported if this town didn't make it so hard.

I'm wondering if this is a real person. I would love to talk to them about their experience with the Township of Scugog and how much Scugog supports small farm businesses. 🤔

Support, really? This is an interesting word they use. Yes, approvals may be possible, if you’re ready to spend a million dollars getting environmental studies, reports, and all the red tape requirements to get there. They say one thing but you know actions speak louder then words.

This has NOT been our reality in Scugog.

As a small business, Myrtle Market & Cidery received little support from the Township of Scugog. What we experienced instead was red tape, shifting goalposts, and a process so difficult that we are now abandoning our application entirely.

If this is what “supporting small business and investment attraction” looks like on the ground, it’s no surprise entrepreneurs walk away.

Scugog DOES NOT support growth!

All I have to say is yeah right!!

Thank you Honourable Lisa Thompson, Minister of Rural Affairs, and her team for meeting with as we promote and advocate our work through Scugog Business Program to support our agri businesses, to attract and retain new investment to choose to do business.

Sad times. Removing the wrap off our truck. Never expected this would be how our 2026 would be starting. 😭

People have asked us, Can you open a fruit stand on your property and sell the apples that you grow there?
Answer: NO, not without township approval.

Even though the apples are grown on your own land, no one is permitted to sell anything unless they get the approval from the Township’s Planning Department or unless you already have the zoning. That includes a simple roadside fruit stand.
