Shopping
A Local Landmark Since 1975
In 1975, John Ward opened Country Produce at 454 West Street North in Orillia. At the time, specialized fruit and vegetable shops were rare. John established Country Produce because he believed that chain stores were getting too much into packaging so that customers had to buy in quantites that they sometimes did not need.
This produce was not the highest quality and was not fresh by the time it left the chain store warehouses and into the hands of the consumer. Country Produce reversed this trend by offering the best quality products and displayed the merchandise so that customers could decide exactly what produce they wanted to purchase.
