Simeon Folkema, Folk Gardens



Sold the Folks on His Produce

Organic rules!

Simeon Folkema of Renfrew (left in photo with his mentor, Dwight Hayward) burst onto the market gardening scene with his high quality pesticide-free produce. 

Starting with weekly appearances at the Renfrew Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings, he branched out selling at the farm-gate and to the grocery store. Always fresh, always tender, always lush: a philosophy that worked for him.
