River Run Farm is nestled in the fields of Grey County between the villages of Williamsford and Durham. Our garden is on a shared farm property surrounded by other ecologically minded farmers and entrepreneurs.
Motivated by a love of the land, Lauren started River Run Farm in the spring of 2023 with the help of her partner Andrew (and their dog Yvie), on rented land in Wellington County. Lauren took over the market garden at Mackay Farms and quickly realized that working outside with her hands in the soil nurtured her soul and connected her to her community. The first few years were filled with experimentation and the joys of learning by doing.
Over the last two seasons Lauren and her partner have worked diligently to improve the soil and biodiversity of their garden. They strive to grow wholesome food and create healthy, vibrant landscapes that work in harmony with nature.
The farm is small and intensive, and consists of an acre of over thirty different varieties of vegetables, herbs, and melons. They grow using organic practices.
