As we approach mid-June our seed staring greenhouse is almost empty and much more of our time is spent weeding than even a week ago. We got close to an inch of rain this week which has been fantastic for the crops and for the weeds.
Above Michele is happily displaying a healthy looking celery that her and the crew transplanted this week.
New this week:
Kaslo Sourdough Pasta (Kaslo BC)
- This is for sure my favorite dried pasta of all time. It is fermented so it is easier to digest than traditional wheat pasta. We have five different types to choose from.
New Earth Organics (Cochrane AB)
- Dried Lions Mane Mushroom
- Dried 16 Mushroom Whole Body Blend
- Collagen Peptides
Verge Farm Store (Pigeon Lake, AB)
- Fermented beef pepperoni with cordyceps, shitake and oyster mushrooms
Referral Program - Did you know that we have a referral program? Each time you refer a new customer to us each of you will receive a $25 credit. Once you are logged into your account you will see a "Refer a friend" tab at the top of your page. Click on that and share the link. When someone signs up using that link you will both automatically have a $25 added to your account. Here is a quick how to if you need more help: https://harvie.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044975613
