100% Pure Butter Tarts
Handcrafted in our signature flower shape, our award-winning butter tarts are baked entirely from scratch. We use a 100% pure butter filling with no corn syrup, resulting in a rich, caramelized pastry that defines the Wellington County autumn experience.
Scratch-Made Autumn Pies
Our autumn pie menu features locally sourced ingredients baked into our traditional flaky crust. Our signature Pumpkin Pie is made exclusively from farm-grown Bisbee Gold pumpkins, chosen specifically for their naturally sweeter, less stringy texture compared to standard carving pumpkins.
Haskap Berries & Preserves
In 2014 Strom’s started growing 480 haskap bushes. These antioxidant-rich berries offer a unique flavor profile combining raspberries and blueberries. Explore our exclusive haskap products, including our Peach Haskap Pie, Strawberry Haskap Crisp, Haskap Tart, Haskap Jam and Vinaigrette.
10,000+ Farm-Grown Pumpkins
Our market features a curated selection of over 10,000 pumpkins brought in from the fields. Choose from traditional carving pumpkins, decorative gourds and highly sought-after heirloom varieties including the uniquely shaped Flat White Boer, Jarrahdale and Porcelain Doll pumpkins.
Signature Cookies & Treats
Visit the bakery for our selection of scratch-made cookies and our premium ice cream sandwiches, crafted exclusively with Kawartha Dairy vanilla ice cream. Arriving on a Friday? Arrive early to secure our highly sought-after, small-batch Friday Cinnamon Buns before they sell out.

A quintessential Strom’s Farm tradition. Our pumpkin spice mini donuts are made fresh on weekends throughout the autumn season, served warm, and tossed in our custom cinnamon-sugar spice blend. Perfect for snacking by the Eats & Embers fire pits or taking home to share.

Best bakery ever!!! Huge selection of pumpkins, lots of photo opps, and it looked like there was going to be evening food trucks the evening we were there. So happy we found Strom's!
What a great atmosphere and was so fun with the kiddos. Delicious treats too
Love going here! Such a nice place to bring your family and game photos. We bought an Apple Pie and it was delicious!
best butter tarts one could ever have. thanks Sonja and Sofia
Tons of fun activities for the kids, great bakery and pumpkins.
My husband and best friend and I came here to pick pumpkins and go to the bakery, and it was delightful! There was a HUGE selection of really wonderful pumpkins to choose from, with a great range of sizes. The prices are also super reasonable - my husband and I got 3 pumpkins, one of which was absolutely huge, and it was only $39. The baked goods are also divine - we got a selection of tarts and some of the mini pumpkin spice doughnuts, and also tried a caramel apple cider - all of which were incredible. I think Stroms is going to be out go-to for pumpkins going forward!!
My family went to Strom farm! We have a daughter who has cerebral palsy and we want to let the staff know EVERYTHING was accessible to her with ease today. Parking located at the front. They have a multi chair bike so she could enjoy the carts with our family and ride around their track. Her walker easily fit through their corn maze with ease. We had THE BEST TIME .. thank you so much for a wonderful day that built wonderful memories that we ALL could participate in . This is probably the BEST pumpkin patch we have been to with our family . We can’t thank you enough !! The Riley’s
10/10 amazing time! fun activities suitable for all ages, delicious butter tarts, wide selection of beautiful pumpkins, and incredibly kind and welcoming staff! shout out to the sweet lady restocking the pumpkins (sorry we didn't catch your name) who helped my friends and I set up and take multiple group photos together in the pumpkins- you went above and beyond with helping us!
So many great things to say about this place!! Everyone was extremely kind and literally went above and beyond by helping me get locked keys out of the car, I have so much gratitude for how quick everyone was to help out!!! 🥲 As a plus, they have the most delicious treats, perfect pumpkins, such cute photo spots, and the goodest pups. We’ll be back every fall season 🧡
Frequently Asked Questions: Strom's Market & Bakery
Whether you are pre-ordering our signature 100% pure butter tarts, exploring our exclusive haskap berry preserves, or picking out the perfect heirloom pumpkin, review our market logistics below. Here is everything you need to know about bakery ingredients, dietary policies, and shopping at Strom’s Farm Market & Bakery in Guelph.
Why do Strom's butter tarts look and taste different than standard grocery store tarts?
Our butter tarts are baked entirely from scratch using a 100% pure butter filling. We never use artificial fillers, margarine, or commercial corn syrup. This traditional recipe, combined with our signature flower-shaped pastry shell, creates a thicker, richer, and perfectly caramelized tart that you won’t find in a commercial bakery.
Do you use canned pumpkin purée for your pumpkin pies?
Never. Our signature pumpkin pies are baked from scratch using farm-grown Bisbee Gold pumpkins. We specifically cultivate this variety for our bakery because the flesh is naturally sweeter, smoother, and far less stringy than standard carving pumpkins, resulting in a superior pie texture.
I’ve never heard of a haskap berry—what does it actually taste like?
Haskap berries are a unique, antioxidant-rich superfruit with a tangy, complex flavor profile that tastes like a cross between a raspberry and a blueberry.
What kinds of haskap bakery items can I buy at the farm market?
Our bakery features frozen ready to bake Peach Haskap Pies, freshly baked strawberry haskap crisps, haskap butter tarts and our signature haskap preserves and vinaigrette to take home.
What time should I arrive to get the Friday Cinnamon Buns before they sell out?
Our highly sought-after cinnamon buns are baked in strictly small batches exclusively on Fridays. Because they are a cult favorite in the Guelph area, they frequently sell out by the afternoon. We highly recommend arriving early in the day.
Is your bakery safe for someone with severe gluten or dairy allergies?
Because our recipes have flour and dairy we cannot guarantee a cross-contamination-free environment. We do not offer certified gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan baked goods. For safe, allergy-friendly treats, we strongly recommend visiting the excellent team at Portions in Guelph.
What kind of ice cream do you use for your bakery ice cream sandwiches?
Our scratch-baked cookie ice cream sandwiches are made exclusively with premium Kawartha Dairy vanilla ice cream, pairing perfectly with our homemade cookies.
Can I freeze my pies or butter tarts to serve later for Thanksgiving or Christmas?
Absolutely. Our butter tarts freeze beautifully in an airtight container for up to twelve months.
Are the specialty heirlooms like Flat White Boer and Jarrahdale pumpkins good for cooking or just decoration?
While heirloom varieties like the Flat White Boer and Jarrahdale are stunning for unique autumn porch displays, they also have incredibly dense, sweet flesh that makes them excellent for roasting, soups, and home baking.
How many pumpkins do you actually grow, and when is the best time to pick one out?
We bring over 10,000 pumpkins up to our market area each fall. Our selection is constantly replenished, but we recommend visiting in late September or early October for the absolute best selection of unique shapes, colors, and massive carving pumpkins.
Are your pumpkin spice mini donuts served hot, and do you make them from scratch?
Yes! our pumpkin spice mini donuts are made fresh every weekend right on the farm. They are served warm and tossed in our custom cinnamon-sugar spice blend.
If I use the online Order Pickup Form, where do I go when I arrive at the farm?
When you arrive at 5089 Wellington Road 32, simply park in our free visitor lot and head straight to the main market.
Does the farm market accept credit cards, or do I need to bring cash?
For your convenience, the Strom’s Farm Market & Bakery accepts all major forms of payment, including Visa, MasterCard, Interac (Debit), and cash.
Can I buy seasonal home decor at the market without buying a farm experience ticket?
Yes. Our market is fully open to the public without an admission fee. You can browse our wide selection of autumn home decor, local preserves, and specialty gifts Wednesday through Sunday during our regular hours.
