From a leap of faith to full-blown flavor: meet Ignacio and Mimi of Reyes Farms in Niagara. 🍑✨
When Ignacio looked Mimi in the eye and said "trust me," she traded her 10-year career as a Toronto fashion designer for farm boots and we are so glad she took that leap.
This farm's got a lot of history behind it. Originally known as Bizjak Farms, Mimi grew up with her family on the lands of Reyes Farms after her dad purchased his first fruit farm in 1974. Ignacio first came to Canada in 2005 through the Seasonal Agriculture Worker Program, to begin his farming journey. Flash forward to 2014, and with some convincing, a lot of work, and love, the farm wa shanded off from Mimi's brother to the couple, and was officialy Mimi's and Ignacio's.
Together, they poured their hearts into reviving the soil, learning best practices, and building a farm rooted in deep love for the land and community. Today, Ignacio still walks the fields every single day to catch the fruit at its peak ripeness.
We are so proud to source their unbelievable plums, peaches, nectarines, and sweet & sour cherries! Even though cherry season has officially passed, we just couldn't pass on showing the goregous fruits of their labour (literally). 🍒
Grab some of their amazing produce and add them to your boxes this week 🌿
