Farm Happenings for September 23, 2024 - the ask
It sure wasn't funny at the time, but it could honestly have been a sketch for a 70's sitcom.
So, this was back ....oh geez... early days of the farm now. I was still on Greta's land. Every CSA member was someone that called about the pamphlet that I had created myself and put in their mailbo1 read more »
Farm Happenings for September 16, 2024 - the Eggplant edition
People are funny.

Farm Happenings for the week of September 2, 2024 - My three wishes

Then I got an email from Shaarika, who is one of our CSA members. They are going on an extended holiday back to India and are having to make alternate arrangements for1 read more »
Farm Happenings for August 26, 2024 - the tomato edition
The French called the tomato the pomme d'amour, or the Love Apple, for their belief that the exotic tomato had aphrodisiac powers. Tomatoes might not be responsible for romance in people, but eating tomatoes does seem to spark a lust for more tomatoes. (Google)

Farm Happenings for August 19, 2024 - the thump, thump, thump in the night
I'm sorry to post late this week, but last night's antics did give me a story to share.
One day, this will be funny.
On the subject of dumb things I have done, I will tell the story among fellow farmers or at the pub and I'll pound the table and wipe my eyes as I try to catch my breathe1 read more »
About the farm
Right here, in our fields that bank onto the Rideau River, proudly on NCC land, the best organic veggies in town are grown. No chemicals, no artificial fertilizer, no GMO trickery. Just naturally enriched soil beds that yield an abundance of succulent greens and hearty roots that are full of nutrients and flavour. This is the way the food was always meant to be.
Each season, we offer shares in the anticipated harvest of fresh vegetables. Each week you will share in our passion for growing when you receive a bin of fresh, organically grown produce carefully picked at their peak for either an onsite farm pick up or for delivery to your home.
