Wholesome Pickins Market

Wholesome Pickins Market & Bakery is a family-owned and operated business located in the beautiful town of Delhi, Ontario. Established in the early 1930s by Archie VanDeVelde, the farm has a rich history of agricultural success and has been a staple in the community for generations. Today, the farm is owned and operated by David and Jenn VanDeVelde, along with their two farm-raised helpers, Ryan and Emily.

At Wholesome Pickins Market & Bakery, we are committed to providing our customers with the freshest and most delicious produce from Norfolk County and the surrounding areas. Our market is moving into its 17th growing season and has quickly become known as the place to stop for farm-fresh produce. Our farm market offers a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, nuts, honey, preserves, and more, all sourced locally.

We take pride in delivering the very best product to our amazing customers, and our family is always growing the best for your family! Our fields hold years of VanDeVelde farming history, and we take great care in continuing this tradition of excellence. We are proud to be part of Ontario's Garden and to support our neighbors and friends by selling their products in our market.
