Wardman Community Market

The Wardman Community Market (WCM) is run by the Wardman Family; John and Stephanie, along with helping hands from their four children. The Wardman’s recently purchased a classic hundred-acre farm amid the beautiful Rideau Lakes Township. Their dream to raise their children closer to nature is now becoming a reality. They plan to grow as much of their own food as possible, reviving the old farm one step at a time.  John has spent his entire life on farms, from England to Canada, and Stephanie has trained as a Health Coach and a Wholefoods Chef. For fun and healthy ideas on preparing local food, follow Stephanie’s Instagram page: @nourishedintoledo.
