   Bert and Willy Hekman offer a warm welcome to all visitors sharing the ambiance of our Heritage Farm. Frootogo is located in the Niagara Escarpment in the town of Waterdown.  Google Map

Our mission is to provide top quality produce, wholesome homemade bakegoods, and to provide a fun family experience!

 

Open August through December, Frootogo’s “Souptogo” offers many types of homemade soups with the ever popular Cheddar Bay Biscuits.   The market also carries jams, jellies, preserves, veggies, squash, and sweet apple cider and all the fall décor.   People can not say enough about our artisian homemade bakegoods.  Made from scratch pies, crisps and cookies will tantilize your tastebuds! 

 

 2012 Crop Update:  We would like our customers to know we have sustained some crop loss due to early warm spring weather followed by hard frost when the vulnerable flowers were in bloom. 
Many of you likely have heard about the losses to fruit farmers in Ontario as well as neighboring Northern United States.  Losses range by location, and luckily we still have some healthy fruit buds.  We are doing our best to grow this crop and of course we will be offering all our fall fun and goodies in the bakery, play area, u-pick pumpkin patch, etc.  We thank you for understanding and look forward to seeing you in August!

Frootogo in Your community...

 We love our community and every year we try and give back as much as we can.  In 2011, we were able to donate fresh produce to the following  Good Sheppard,  Food Bank, and Parkinson Super Walk.  We also have donated bakery goods to Drummond house. These are just some of the ways we like to help out in our local community.

In 2010 our farm was proudly chosen by Foodland Ontario government to be the location used for their commercials, and our family was asked to participate and act in some of the scenes.  You can view some of the commercials on the foodland website.      

We offer bicycle parking and have a bike repair kit available.  Our farm is a great destination along Southern Ontario biking routes.  Enjoy a quick snack or take a leisurely break and use our facilities and experience the farm ambience. We are featured by the Ontario Welcome Cyclists Network.  You can check out their website for great biking information.  

We are partnering with MomsTown to offer Moms their own special day at Frootogo.  Hamilton and Burlington chapters meet here regularly - Come join other moms and kids for a fun day out.
