Palatine Fruit and Roses is a dynamic combination of fruit and roses! We grow an array of tender fruits (peaches, plums, cherries, nectarines, etc) and roses (both for garden and cut flowers); and strongly emphasize disease resistance and diversity in our selection of cultivars. We are blessed with a unique geographical location, giving us a longer growing season and higher heat units than much of the country. Combined with our beautiful soil, attention to detail, and holistic soil and pest management approach, we pride ourselves on providing some of the highest quality fruits and roses. We have an on-farm retail garden centre and fruit market and sell larger orders that are either picked up or delivered to customers across Southern Ontario. Our farm is a small and very busy place! We are lucky to have a great team of long-term staff and are looking to add one more to the team!
