About Us
Serving Windsor-Essex for over a century!
 
 

          Simpson Orchards of Leamington is operated by Jason and Corrie Adamson. Jason grew up across the street from the farm and is a 4th generation farmer. Corrie grew up in the Amherstburg area and has gained a love of farming through Jason's passion. Our goal and vision is to continue the legacy that the Simpson family has built by providing fresh, high quality, homegrown fruits, vegetables and more.

          The farm boasts over 20 different crops, including many varieties of apples, peaches, pears, apricots, cherries, melons, watermelons, sweet potatoes, squash, etc. With C.A. long term storage, apples are available year round with the best selection of varieties around. Close to 30 different apple varieties are grown ranging from antique kinds such as Northern Spy and Russet, to new varieties like Fuji, Ambrosia and Honeycrisp.

   

 
  History
We've grown since 1921!
 
          The family farm was established in 1921 when Jean Simpson and her son Allan Simpson purchased the home farm. A weekly tradition of taking produce to market in Windsor, Ontario started in 1928. Jean and Allan sold their produce in the street while the City market was being constructed. The Simpson family sold there until 1997 when the city owned market was closed. Since then, we have been selling Fridays & Saturdays in Windsor at the "Market Square" on the corner of Ottawa St. and Walker Road, until April 2020. Currently the farm store is open from Monday to Saturday, 8:00am to 5:30pm, year round. In 2022, the farm changed ownership from the Simpson family to the neighbouring family of farmers, the Adamsons.
