Hello
Welcome to Back Roads Ranch, where fresh food, prairie hospitality, and family farming come together.
Located near Wakaw and Middle Lake, Saskatchewan, Back Roads Ranch is a woman-owned farm dedicated to growing high-quality strawberries and creating memorable experiences for families, friends, and visitors. What began as a passion for farming has grown into one of Saskatchewan's exciting agritourism destinations, offering fresh strawberries, seasonal experiences, and a place where people can reconnect with the countryside.
Our family's farming roots in Saskatchewan stretch back to 1903, when our ancestors first settled here. Through generations, the values of hard work, resilience, and a love of the land have been passed down, inspiring everything we do today.
Today, Back Roads Ranch proudly operates from two unique locations:
🌾 Middle Lake Homestead – Nestled back at our family's historic homestead, this is where our farming story began. Visit our greenhouse, enjoy seasonal flowers and fresh produce, and experience the charm of the original ranch surrounded by the beauty of the Saskatchewan countryside.
🍓 Wakaw Highway 41 Ranch – Conveniently located on Highway 41 near Wakaw, our newest ranch location is home to our expanding strawberry fields and seasonal agritourism experiences. During the season you'll find fresh-picked strawberries, U-pick adventures, family activities, and exciting events designed to create lasting memories.
At Back Roads Ranch, we believe food tastes better when it's grown close to home. We are committed to producing fresh, locally grown strawberries while creating an enjoyable experience for every visitor. Whether you're visiting the homestead, picking berries, exploring our seasonal attractions, or attending one of our special events, we want you to leave with more than just great products—we want you to leave with lasting memories.
As our ranch continues to grow, so does our vision. We're proud to invest in Saskatchewan agriculture while building a destination that celebrates local food, community, and the beauty of rural life.
Thank you for supporting local farming and for making Back Roads Ranch part of your family's traditions. We look forward to welcoming you to one of our two ranch locations and sharing a little piece of prairie life with you.
