Farm Happenings for August 12, 2021

Posted on August 8th, 2021 by Michael Hoke

We have watermelons!  Last week we only had a few from HOPE farms in Aylmer, but this week we have the first harvest of our own melons and they look great.  These are a small, seeded red watermelon called Mini Love.  We've sampled a few and even the small personal sized ones are fantastic!  At $5 each you'll either get a larger one or two small / medium sized ones.  We still have 4-5 huge sugar baby from HOPE that some lucky shares will get.

We have sweet corn from Pfennings and Our fields this week too in larger quantities as well as cauliflower.  This will be the last week for blueberries from Bluegroves farm but we will have peaches again this week (the very first of the Redhaven peaches) from Great Lakes Farms.  On top of all that we have plenty of the regulars coming in from our own crops this week!

Finally new this week we have fair trade chocolate bars from Theo and tortilla chips available.  Note that these items INCLUDE HST in their prices.
