Farm Happenings at Fiddlehead Farm
Reducing Waste
You might not have thought about reducing food waste when you signed up for a CSA, but together we can make a huge difference! While we usually run farmers markets as well as our veggie bag program, this summer the vast majority of what we can grow is being distributed thorough your bags.

Enjoying a rainbow
I think this week's rainbow was trying to tell me something... sometimes we get so wrapped up in everything that we forget to pause and smell the flowers. Farming often feels like a busy game of whackamole, constantly jumping from one thing going wrong to another. Troubleshooting the pumps, trying1 read more »
Pandemic Partnership
It is a rare occasion where we bring in veggies from another farm, but the Wednesday deliveries have been very tricky of late. We've shifted our production from being fairly balanced between Wednesday and Saturday deliveries to having almost three times as much produce on the move Wednesday as Satu1 read more »

From falling behind to catching up...
What a wonderful place to be. The dreaded feeling of falling behind is very discouraging, but with our full crew in place for a week and a bit now it feels like a huge surge in "catching up".

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.
