About the Farm

ManoRun Farm

ManoRun Organic Farm is located in Copetown near the intersection of Hwy 52 and Governor's Road. Copetown is situated on the rural border of Ancaster and Dundas - just a short 5 minute drive from either town. Chris Krucker and Denise Trigatti have been farming organically for over 10 years and offer organic vegetables, meats and bread through a "farmer to eater" relationship known as Community Supported Agriculture or CSA. The farm is 40 acres in total and includes 10 acres of vegetables, herbs and fruits, 20 acres of hay/pasture and 10 acres of grain. Most of the work on the farm is done by hand and so that involves lots of help. Chris and Denise work with local staff, intern volunteers and their 4 children to plant, cultivate, harvest and deliver the vegetables, manage the livestock and bring in the grain and hay crop.

In addition to the current CSA membership of 150 families thethe farm sells produce at 3 markets in Hamilton:

If you are looking for that local organic food connection ManoRun is exactly that. In addition to our vegetables, herbs and fruit we offer meats and bread to our farm members.
