Our story
Taylor Farms is a family run farm producing and offering fresh produce to the Muskoka community.
Initially established as a gravel pit & farmland in 1981, the Shaw family then moved to the farm in 1994 and continue to operate both sides of the business to this day.
In 2011 our first ‘everbearing’ strawberries were grown on the farm and you can find them in over 15 local Muskoka businesses.Strawberries continue to be the main crop but we also grow raspberries, corn, gladiolas, sunflowers and a variety of herbs and vegetables.
All these crops as well as other fresh Ontario produce and a variety of pantry products are sold at our farm Market. Opened in 2017 the farm Market is open from May-October.
Our sand and gravel business continues to serve the community with significant expertise to complete a variety of projects.

Strawberries
Strawberries were the original crop as the farm initially opened as a pick-your-own strawberry farm. These strawberries along with other crops were first sold at local farmers markets and by honour system at the end of the driveway!
As times have moved on we now produce our ‘everbearing’ strawberries in addition to the ever popular ‘pick-your-own’. The ‘Pick Your Own’ season usually runs at the start of the summer but the berries decide when they are ready. Typically this is around the longest, warmest and sunniest days of the year (mid-June to mid-July).
The ‘everbearing’ strawberries are technically known as day neutrals. These plants are able to produce strawberries from mid-summer until the first frost. We provide these strawberries to local businesses in the Muskoka area so you may see our packaged berries on shelves in your local store.
