For more than 40 years, Adelaide Farms has been a trusted source of fresh, local food for families across Middlesex County. Family-owned and operated by brothers John and James Roberts, the farm has built a reputation for quality, value, and a strong commitment to the community it serves.
The farm’s story began with their father, Mark Roberts, who raised beef cattle alongside his sons. Over time, the family expanded into growing fruits and vegetables, selling their harvest at a roadside stand. As demand grew, the business quickly outgrew its original location, leading to the construction of the Produce Building in 1990. While John and James worked the fields, Mark welcomed customers and helped build the relationships that remain at the heart of the business today.
Following Mark’s passing in 2014, John and James continued the family tradition, carry forward the values of hard work, quality, and customer service that have defined Adelaide Farms for generations. Visitors to the farm can find a wide array of hand-harvested produce including sweet corn, strawberries, asparagus, potatoes, tomatoes, and more, alongside products such as eggs, flowers, firewood, and locally raised meats.
Adelaide Farms also supports the broader local food system by partnering with other growers and producers to expand its offerings. By featuring products from nearby farms, the business helps strengthen local agriculture while providing customers with greater access to fresh, locally sourced food.
What makes Adelaide Farms special is its dedication to both quality and community. For decades, loyal customers have returned season after season, knowing they will find fresh produce and friendly faces. With family values at the core of everything they do, Adelaide Farms continues to be a place where quality produce, strong community connections, and a passion for local agriculture come together.
