At Canara Farm we are focused on growing a range of amazing speciality produce, chosen for its outstanding taste and flavour as much as for its appearance. Canara is now in full year-round seasonal production, benefiting from our unique maritime climate, being situated on 15 acres of sunny south facing slopes near Mylor in South Cornwall.
Canara Farm is also the home of the hugely popular Lizard Leaf organic salad business, exclusively available through WestCountry Fruit Sales. Furthermore, Canara also enables us to work with individual customers to grow experimental and unusual small-scale crops to help chefs to innovate and to promote uniqueness in seasonal menu development.

In short, we grow, source & curate a wide range of inspiring products
