The Lohr Farm started with Bram and Koos emigrating from Holland and purchasing the present farm in 1960. Located in the fertile Annapolis Valley, nestled under "the Look Off" the farm is surrounded by natural beauty. The farm changed hands from father to son in 1987 and is now farmed by Heather and John (Farmer John himself) and their 4 husky boys.

The farm has rich red glacial soils and a climate moderated by the tides of the Bay of Fundy. Cool breezes are propelled by the worlds highest tides. The climate and soil act together to produce some of the finest crops in the world. Our Summer Savory is no exception.

Summer Savory is the traditional Maritime herb for meats, beans and many other dishes. It is a short season annual herb and can be easily grown in our climate. Summer Savory imparts a distinctive savory flavor to foods and can be used as a replacement for salt. It is used with soups, stuffings, potato dishes, eggs, fish and many other dishes.

Almost all of Farmer John's products are gluten-free. The exceptions are certain baking mixes and the fish cake mix.

All our products are MSG free.
