About

Harvest Brunch: an interactive tour, workshop, and cooking class interwoven with nutrition and agriculture education as well as cooking tips & tricks

Join Registered Dietitian & Farmer Alex Chesney for some time in the fields at Thames River Melons. Harvest your own fruits and vegetables, visit the chickens, gather eggs, and explore the farm. Slow down and enjoy the beauty of one of Ontario’s most bountiful agricultural areas as you learn more about where your food comes from, how it is grown, the nourishment it offers you, and the benefits of supporting your local producers.

Head back to the brand-new Farm Kitchen where you’ll spend time together creating a beautiful long table brunch crafted around the season’s freshest finds. Cook a delicious & simple frittata and roasted potatoes, learning kitchen tips and tricks as you go and enjoying the company of others. Finally, enjoy the fruits of your labour paired with a selection of other farm goods and local flavours as you sit down together for a social brunch on the farm. Experience how food inspires connection and taste the difference local makes.

In addition to our traditional morning brunches, we will be offering the occasional Harvest Dinner, taking place in the evening. The menu will be adjusted to suit this meal, making it perfect for a date night or a girls night out!

What to Bring

A healthy appetite and willingness to learn! Clothing appropriate for exploring the farm and fields (closed-toe shoes, rubber boots if it's been rainy). Feel free to bring spare shoes to change into if you'd like!
