Charlotteville Brewing Company

Submitted by Laurie Kizik on

As young twenty-somethings, Mark Thompson and Kristin Dolan always knew they wanted to do something with the family farm. Although their education and eventual careers took them in other directions, their initial inclination was never very far away. In 2010, they bought half of their family's farm and decided to start growing hops. It was from here that their dream to one day own an estate brewery started to evolve.

Crispy Apple Chips

Submitted by Tara Simpson on

One of the original Mennonite families to settle in the Waterloo region, the Martins have been farming their land since the 1820s. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that Leighton Martin, at the urging of an exchange student, planted his first 100 apple trees alongside his mixed vegetable gardens. Fast forward forty years and the Martin's Family Fruit Farm now harvests apples from more than 700 acres of orchards in southern Ontario. In 2012, the family took another leap of faith by jumping into the value-added market, building a fruit processing plant to produce their own line of apple chips.

The Original Energy Drink

Submitted by Tara Simpson on

Once known as haymaker’s punch, switchel was a ginger tonic prepared for people working in the fields during the 18th and 19th centuries. “We call it the original energy drink,” says Ann Marie Weber, who took over her family farm in Stratford, Ont., originally a pick-your-own farm in the 1970s, with her husband, Al. After steadily growing a reputation for making high-quality jams, using local ingredients, they decided to branch out with a new all-natural, fruit-based product line this year.
