Wendy's Country Market & Furnace Falls Farm Celebrates the Past in the Present for the Future.

Our focus here at Wendy’s Country Market and Furnace Falls Farm is as much on our past as it is on our present to protect the future. Working in our heritage buildings each day we are surrounded by our ancestors cherished photos and keepsakes which serve as reminders to celebrate the past with those we welcome into our store, our retreat and our event venue.

We take pride in planting heritage seeds and producing plants for you to take home in the Spring to introduce to your gardens. These same heritage plants are planted and harvested on our farm and used year-round in the food we prepare and serve you our valued customers and guests. Our farm to table cooking classes, dinners and celebrations are opportunities for us to share some of the cooking skills and recipes we have learned from previous generations and hope to pass down along the way.

As we partner with Leeds and the 1000 Islands Township again this year, we take great pleasure in bringing cooking classes to the children at Sweet’s Corners Elementary School. We feel privileged to be able to expose kids to a variety of vegetables that they may not have eaten before and to explain how certain types of vegetables are grown. The kids learn that cooking can be fun as they work together, even taking on new leadership roles. We complete the cooking series with the kids joining in a community meal setting, helping to encourage the values of the past and creating skills for the future.
​
We welcome the new decade with a nod to our past, celebrating local farms and local food for the future.
Warmly,
Wendy and the team at Wendy’s Country Market and Furnace Falls Farm.
