Circle R Fruit Farms — Attraction in Town of Carlton

UPDATE:

Circle R ice cream was delicious! I didn't realise how big my Soft Serve, Waffle Cone with Chocolate Sprinkles would be! It was enormous!!! My partner enjoyed his French Roast Coffee.

The menu is pretty big and I am sure there is something for everyone to enjoy. Fantastic quality and quantity for the price. Lesson of the day is order a small next time.

The seating area is excellent. Lots of benches and tables and not squishy at all.

However I have given a 3 star rating for my review due to the lack of customer service. The staff are definitely letting this place down. No greeting, no smile just cold and pretty miserable.

This isn't the first time we have experienced lack of good service. Would we come back? Without any doubt it's a yes but hoping to see the staff crack a smile so l can change my 3 star rating back to 5 stars again.

ORIGINAL REVIEW 5 stars

Fantastic farm shop beautifully set out. There is a lovely selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods, honey and jams to choose from depending on the season. All the items are reasonably priced and labelled. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Perry’s Ice cream shop is attached to the side of farm shop. Plenty of picnic tables are dotted around for inside and...

A Delicious Stop on the Seaway Trail!

Circle R Fruit Farm is a gem of a farm stand, offering so much more than just fresh produce. Located on Roosevelt Highway in Waterport, it's a perfect spot to stop for a treat or to pick up some local goods. Their selection of fresh fruits and vegetables is fantastic, especially during peak season. We always find what we need, and the quality is consistently excellent. But what really sets them apart is their incredible food and treats. The permanent food truck on-site serves up delicious grilled items, perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. And you absolutely cannot leave without trying their ice cream! With a wide variety of Perry's ice cream flavors, it's the perfect way to cool down on a warm day. We also love the variety of other products they carry, like the Amish-made baked goods, canned goods, and local honey. It's clear that they've curated a wonderful selection of high-quality items from the community. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making every visit a pleasant experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through on the Seaway Trail, Circle R Fruit Farm is a must-visit. It's a great place to support local agriculture and enjoy some delicious food and treats in a charming,...

Since the unfortunate and unnecessary closure of Brown's Berry Patch, this place is a godsend! Great produce, baked goods, icecream and food truck! And firewood. And it's right by the state park campground.

Edit: food truck is amazing! Pricy BUT when you see the portion size it doesn't seem expensive anymore! The burgers were awesome, the fries amazing, and the steak sub was better than ANY pizza place I've ever had! Totally worth it!

Now for the icecream shop...I get that it's the beginning of the season and it was a Wednesday, but my two favorite flavors were still on the board, I was able to order one just to be told ten minutes later that they were out. They were out of my second choice as well. Then I finished my cone before they had my wife's baby cone ready, they forgot about that. They put the two scoops in a bowl on a cone instead, they fixed it but it was total disorganized chaos that will hopefully be ironed out soon. If they run out of two of the most popular flavors mid week, what will happen on the weekend? Hope they get it together. It's a great place and our first impression was last year and yesterday, so I will assume that today was just a fluke. Still 5 stars based on the food today and the two...
