If you are driving to and from Port Dover, especially during those busy summer days, Matz is one of those go-to stops.
Matz Fruit Barn has been offering the community delicious locally grown fruits and vegetables for years now and continues to ensure our local community has access to healthy options.
The story of Matz Fruit Barn goes back a long way, as Store Manager Jessica Bauman talks about her grandfather and his love of growing flowers at a young age.
From there, the business grew, and larger fields were laid out as they sent produce across Canada.
It wasn’t until Jessica’s mother took over that they decided to take a more focused approach, as it was better for our community, but it also allowed them to be prepared for what Mother Nature may throw at you.
This freedom to focus on local also gave them a chance to really make sure that people in Norfolk got the best fruit and veggies they could.
She said they have seen firsthand the difference this makes.
With a young child of her own, eating healthy is an important lesson she tries to pass on.
