Farm Happenings for August 14, 2020

Posted on August 12th, 2020 by Brianna van de Wijngaard

Happy 3rd week of August, everyone!

Hope many of you have had a chance to get some time away with friends and family. The chilly weather is back but hopefully we'll have a warm September. 

We've got most of the usuals available to choose from this week, but also a few extras: we are getting some produce from Earl Wilson at Silver Birch Farm on West Fraser Rd, which we're really excited about! Earl is not certified organic, but he grows his produce with zero chemical applications whatsoever. He feels very strongly about growing sustainable products, so we are 100% happy to get produce from him that we don't grow. This week, we will have some lovely new Red Chieftain and Kennebec potatoes, as well as cylindra beets and ...garlic! I like cylindra beets best for pickling or canning: the skin comes off super easy.

Tomatoes are slow due to the cool temps so hopefully we can get some to all of you at some point.

Thanks, everyone. Enjoy the week!
