This week we had a little frost scare, but we didn't go below 4C so we're very glad! We got doors installed on the greenhouse, did a full green pepper pick, and got all our winter squashes safe curing in the greenhouse. It's interesting that many farms and markets quiet down after thanksgiving - but for us there's still so much delicious in the fields. We can usually continue harvesting various cold hardy crops into December, and of course our storage crops jump in to fill out the diversity. Some exciting crops coming up in the last few weeks of our summer CSA include our sweet potatoes, kalettes, napa cabbage, and hopefully the first of our frost sweetened carrots for when that frost does come.

Getting ready for frost
About the farm
Heather and Stephanie have been running Fiddlehead Farm since 2012 in Prince Edward County, Ontario. With a small team of employees they are ecologically growing twelve acres of tasty vegetables. Selling veggies year round, they pack up shares in spring, summer and winter seasons.
While they grew up in cities it is their shared passions for good food and the environment that led them to start their own vegetable farm after studying in ecology and politics. They started with a modest group of farm shares and a handful of farmers' markets. With the help of family, friends, and a dedicated following of both veggie box members and market customers the farm has steadily grown from its humble beginnings.
