Guide to Barrie and area pick-your-own farms


photo source

'Tis the season for fresh produce! Simcoe County is chock full of farm markets, fresh produce stands and, if you are inclined to make the acquisition an adventure, pick-your-own produce farms.

Here is a list of as many PYOs as I can find in Simcoe County. If you're thinking to yourself "Hasn't this been done before?", the answer is NO! (Or not well enough for my liking.) I compiled this from dozens of sources that either didn't include them all, or was enormous and not sorted to easily identify Simcoe County PYOs. Of the existing resources, the best ones are Simcoe County Farm Fresh and Harvest Canada, so if you're looking for other types of farms I suggest you use their directories.
