Posted on September 7th, 2020
September has arrived, bringing with it all the feelings of fall. Even though autumn doesn't technically start for another two weeks, for us it always feels like the beginning of September.

Farm Share Week 13 - Potatoes!

Posted on August 31st, 2020
This week is our first harvest for potatoes! These potatoes were an experiment for us as we planted them by seed.

Posted on August 24th, 2020
Hi farm friends! I am lucky enough to be writing this from my parents' cottage on the French River up north. Rosemary and I and baby-to-be have escaped for some much-needed rest.

Farm Share Week 8

Posted on July 27th, 2020
I'm writing this on a dying phone, sitting on a Muskoka chair overlooking a corn field while bacon is cooking on the fire. So needless to say I'll be keeping this short.  Garlic is harvested, tomatoes are thriving, red onions are coming out this week, peppers are making an appearance, cucumber1 read more »

Farm Share Week 7 - Planting Time!

Posted on July 20th, 2020
This time of year feels a bit like the beginning of spring again, in terms of all the planting that needs to be done in the field. This is the time when we start to plant our fall crops, so there's a bit of a hurry to get it all in the ground. In the next week or two we'll be planting parsnips, car1 read more »

It will make you go out and dance under the thunderclouds. I think our plants are grateful too. There was a1 read more »
