End of October, 2020

Eating from Kingston's urban farm has opened many of your mouths to the taste of delicious

local vegetables. While planting the garlic on Saturday our nephew was helping and had

brought carrot sticks for his snack. When we mentioned he could eat them right from the farm

he said unequivocally how those taste much better, and having a little dirt on them is a bonus.

We grow so you can eat the freshest, tastiest, most full-flavoursome and nutrient dense food, on

a regular basis. Glad you noticed!

 

Thanks to all of you as we've worked with Harvie to set up an Extended season running until December

as supplies last. It hasn't been perfectly smooth, so if you're still hoping to get a share, or needing to cancel,

let us know.

 

Despite our collaborative efforts with you two years ago to remove single-use plastic from

our purchase list, and using scant disposable plastic on the farm, 2020 has seen an increase

in packaging due to Covid-19. We've mostly used paper. At this time, please return Main Street

Urban Farm packaging this week and next, either to the Barn, or at your delivery point, or to the

front door of 126 York St. We reuse all pints, quarts, elastics, bags, Rubbermaid bins, plastic or

cloth grocery bags. Of those last three, now's a great time to gift our farm with any extra

Rubbermaid bins, and cloth or plastic grocery bags you have at home.
