Description:
Scotch Block is one of Halton's best kept secrets. Those who visit our 10th Sideroad Winery will be treated to a sampling of wonderful wines, ranging from dry fruit and grape wines, to ice and dessert wines. The name "Scotch Block Winery" was chosen as a tribute to the Scottish settlers who in 1820 were the first European immigrants to survey and settle in Esquesing Township, Halton County. Scotch Block Winery is nestled in the area known as Scotch Block - an area of rich, fertile, rolling farmland of which the scenic Niagara Escarpment is a breathtaking backdrop. Laurie and Bert Andrews along with their young children Angela, Kurtis and Valerie established Andrews Scenic Acres in 1980. Just over three years ago it was decided that the berry, sweet corn and pumpkin farm would take on a new and exciting challenge of being the first farm winery in the Region of Halton. It was a natural extension of our customer oriented business of supplying fresh and frozen strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, currants, go seberries and elderberries. We are also experimenting with tree fruits of apples, cherries, pears, plums and peaches. Our newest challenge is the vineyard of winter hardy French Hybrid and Vinefera grapes. Bert says, "to make excellent quality wine you must start with excellent quality fruit". "The only way to be assured of excellent quality fruit for batch after batch of wine is to grow the fruit yourself". Only minutes from Acton, Georgetown, Milton, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Etobicoke, Erin, Rockwood or Hillsburgh - come find out what everyone is talking about. Located in our Mennonite constructed farm building at Andrews Scenic Acres.

(NC)—With the cost of food on the rise, there's no better time to start growing your own organic herbs, fruits and vegetables. The best part about incorporating edible items into the garden (aside from the taste and health benefits) is that you don't need to be an avid gardener or have a large garden space to get started.
Herbs and vegetables can easily be grown right in your backyard garden or in containers on your patio or balcony. Certain items such as tomatoes come in a variety of vibrant colours and when mixed in with traditional flowers and plants, make for breathtaking displays. |
