Knock knock, who's there? Radish!

early June? On the urban farm...
It's been a fortnight of various challenges. In the midst of everything else going on around the world, we had multiple thunder storms and hail in the field last Saturday. Is this June?

Farm Happenings in March 2020
We get a lot of asks about what we get up to on the farm in Winter. Since we were away in Australia last year we've decided to pull back a bit in Winter. Our children and friends give us a lot of space to farm in the Summer, putting up with long days and not as much attention. So, in the Winter we1 read more »

Snow share #1, Nov 14, 2019
A snowy g'day to you! We've got the first blanket over the fields and what a feeling.
Of course there were mixed emotions in there when the 100km/h winds thrashed the high tunnels, but then we got the gift of many hands to help us untangle them before this first dump of snow. They may not be u1 read more »
About the farm
A decentralised urban farm in downtown Kingston Ontario, Main Street Market Urban Farm has been run by co-farmers Tim & Tracy Lyon since 2009. We grow vegetables and mushrooms on several city centre plots. And, we also grow the connection between eaters and farmers, eaters and the earth. We fell in love with farming and the food we grow when we tasted the fruit straight from the field. You can get it delivered right to your door by bicycle! Our growing methods follow organic principles in our intensive, market-garden style beds.
