Farm Happenings for December 3, 2020

Posted on November 29th, 2020 by Chris DeVries

We have Christmas trees to cut this year!  10 years ago we planted several windbreaks on the farm and in some places they need to be thinned.  We have enough for 20 people to cut trees and I am going to be around all next Saturday.  If you would like a tree for $50, please sign up on this spreadsheet.  I will have saws and twine and you can either cut it yourself or I can do it for you and get it ready for you to take home.  The trees have been unpruned so some will need trimming, but there are many nice trees!

Here's what we have on offer this week from off the farm:

  • Organic ambrosia apples (3lb bag) from BC (Pfennings)
  • Organic spartan apples (3lb bag) from BC (Pfennings)
  • Organic pears from USA (Pfennings)
  • Organic avocadoes from Mexico (Pfennings)
  • Organic raisins from USA (Pfennings)
  • Great Lakes farms Honey Crisp apples (NOT ORGANIC)
  • Great Lakes farms Gala apples (NOT ORGANIC)
  • Garlic from Our Fields Farm Aylmer (Organic practices)
  • Butternut squash: Hope ECO farms or Our Fields Farm Aylmer
  • onions: organic, Pfennings in Baden (near Kitchener)
  • mushrooms: organic from a producer near Leamington (from Pfennings)
  • Eggs! from Amish farms in the Aylmer area:  18 count small eggs.  These are fed GMO free but not necessarily organic feed.  They are all from 100 or less flocks on different farms, graded at Harold Stoll's farm.
