Farm Happenings at Mike's Garden Harvest
Farm Happenings for November 18, 2021- The 2021 Winter Gift
Ever seen one of those corny family Christmas movies and there is that scene when the Dad gets caught in some sort of obviously fake Santa costume putting presents under the tree..
Well..here we are (lol).
Every year, we hope to be able to offer a Winter Gift from the field. We do this for a couple1 read more »
Farm Happenings for October 19, 2021 - The Fall Finale
This is the first morning that actually feels like there is fall in the air. I did a walk to check my squash counts. It was wet, cold and the air was clear. Quite beautiful with all the colors.
This, as you know is the final week of our 16 week summer/fall season CSA season. It was an experie1 read more »
Farm Happenings for October 12, 2021 - And the Beat goes on and on..and..
Over the past weeks we have talked about the many parts that make the operation whole.
The membership that helps fund, the staff and volunteers that lean in and the farm dog who keeps an ever watchful eye. With the potato harvest being front and centre now would be a good time to shine a ligh1 read more »
Farm Happenings for October 5, 2021 - an ode to the farm dog
You will see at least one on every farm you go to.
Typically they are the first to greet you. Sometimes friendly and sometimes..well not so much. Much like myself in that regard...lol.
Seemingly part wild and part domestic I speak of course of the farm dog.
They play an impo1 read more »
Farm Happenings for September 28, 2021 - A message in a mushroom.
I looked out my window Friday morning and there it was. Grown by the light of this week's full moon.
I've only seen one once before, years ago now and this one was huge. Freaky huge. Like some alien life form had landed and taken residence.
Compelled, I walked up to it slowly and just stared1 read more »
Farm Happenings for September 21, 2021 - the week that was
Well... THAT happened.
What a week!! First I decide to get creative and ambitious with the share contents and we elect to offer up a wider than ususal selection of herbs during the dog end part of the season for them. THEN, I compound the felony by deciding it would be nice to inc1 read more »
Farm Happenings for September 14, 2021 The Hot and 'Spicy&Spicy' edition
As this September evokes some new routines for many of us, it is only prudent that we change the menu up a little bit :-)
Just like it is with students in the classroom, a farmer will tell you that every vegetable has its' own personality. Radishes are the 'fast aquaintances', Lettuce i1 read more »
Farm Happenings for September 7, 2021 - 'Some say tomato, others say pomodoro'
Not a common sight in this part of the world, but last night, here at the farm, I watched one of our gardeners happily carrying out her harvest which was artfully balanced on her head. She is African ofcourse. I found myself musing, "I know about people but I wonder where all of our vegetables have1 read more »
Farm Happenings for August 31, 2021 - The story of La Tomatina
It was the summer of 1945 in Bunol, Spain. A group of young men attending the Giants and Big Head figures parade filled with ..lets call it 'enthusiasm'. Six years of war was at a near end and there was an energy and excitement that was overflowing. One of these young men bumped another1 read more »
About the farm
Right here, in our fields that bank onto the Rideau River, proudly on NCC land, the best organic veggies in town are grown. No chemicals, no artificial fertilizer, no GMO trickery. Just naturally enriched soil beds that yield an abundance of succulent greens and hearty roots that are full of nutrients and flavour. This is the way the food was always meant to be.
Each season, we offer shares in the anticipated harvest of fresh vegetables. Each week you will share in our passion for growing when you receive a bin of fresh, organically grown produce carefully picked at their peak for either an onsite farm pick up or for delivery to your home.
