Blaine and Leona Staples are 4th generation farmers on Leona's family farm just north of Innisfail. The Staples are best known for their strawberries, but also grow greenhouse crops, specializing in flowers and a number of field crops such as lettuce and pumpkins.
Everyone in the family helps out on the farm in the summer time. All five of us are standing in front of our old hip-roof barn where you can come to pick and weigh your strawberries.
We plant more than one variety of strawberries. These varieties ripen at different times so we are able to pick strawberries from July until September.
After the summer of berries and freshly picked vegetables, don't forget you can also get your halloween pumpkin from your local Innisfail Growers Booth or straight from The Jungle Farm.
There are an endless number of activities to do on The Jungle Farm from picking your own strawberries, to choosing the perfect pumpkin right out of the pumpkin patch, to planting your very own flower planters and baskets, to riding the wagon to the corn maze or to enjoying the farm animals.
