The climate in Niagara is well-known to be an important aspect of our viticulture, but it also has an incredible impact on the rest of our agricultural enterprise as well. Since Niagara is located between two Great Lakes, the temperatures are fairly moderated throughout the year and combining this with rich soils, it creates the ideal conditions for growing tender fruit.

An excellent way to experience the produce Niagara has to offer is by visiting one of the many local Farmers’ Markets that operate throughout the year. Shoppers have the opportunity to buy farm-fresh fruits and vegetables directly from the people producing them and farmers are able to connect with customers and have a little fun while creating an important source of income.
