We again have a HUGE amount of beautiful spinach available with XL bags (750g of spinach) on sale at $12 instead of the usual $17.  If you like spinach, you should get on thi1 read more »

Thanksgiving has past, but it's not really linked to an end of harvest for us!  In fact we are really just getting started with our big fall harvests.  We have packed away about 1/2 of our cabbage for the winter and just started harvesting our winter carrots (which by the way have become1 read more »

Happy Thanksgiving! This morning saw the first frost of the fall season, while it marks the end (or near-end) of many of our hot-weather crops, it also dramatically improves the flavour of the cool season crops including cabbages, kale, carrots, turnips, and winter radishes.

A big broccoli harvest this week and it looks nice!  We also have a lot of spinach.  We decided this summer that we would double down and make sure the spinach plantings were plentiful (last year we were disappointed in quantities).  So this week we've added an XL spinach bag too.&nb1 read more »

We have more romanesco this week!  If you didn't get a chance to get one, give it a try this week.  It's very much used like a cauliflower but has an amazingly chaotic shape and good flavour to match!  This week we have a bunch of new types of organic squash from HOPE eco-farms near1 read more »

What to do with a huge excess of cherry tomatoes?  This year we over-estimated the amount we would need and on top of that the plants have been healthy and producing a LOT!  What to do with them all?  Well we found an amazing way to make use of them the last couple of years.  It1 read more »

The festival happened and it was great!  Thank you to all those who could make it out.  We hope this can be a yearly thing from now on! We regret to report that this week we are a bit short on lettuce mix!  This is unfortunate but the first time THIS YEAR that this has happened! 1 read more »
