According to the general principal that stuff doesn’t usually break when you aren’t using it, it makes sense that when temperatures plunged in the later part of last week would naturally be the time the geothermal heat in the shop would fail. Quite a bit of sense really, but inconvenient regardless. As it turned out, […]
(Psst its Nathan’s Birthday today, feel free to send him a Happy Birthday Wish!) Just as January comes to a close the weather seems to have caught up with the season. So far this winter we’ve been absolutely spoiled by having warm days when we wanted to wash storage crops, so it’s about time reality […]
It’s been another unseasonably warm week, but just cold enough to keep the mud situation semi under control. And there have at least been a few sunny breaks between the generally cloudy conditions. Enough to produce a little bit of growth in the greenhouse anyway. We’ve changed our Wednesday plans this week to be order […]
First off, sorry for the technical difficulties on the online store this morning. It is being worked on, but in the mean time at least it should be mostly functional. Not the best timing, but such is the nature of life. Well it finally feels like January. At least it isn’t as windy as it […]
Welcome Back for a new season! It’s been good to have a change of pace for the last two weeks, to have some time to gather with family and friends and celebrate Christmas. But it is also good to be back to market and seeing all our wonderful customers again. The time has flown by. […]

Yesterday we woke up to a beautiful blanket of snow on the ground. Such a contrast to the green and growing salad inside the greenhouse. It was nice to spend some time Friday being refreshed by the fresh green growth while preparing for market on Saturday. CSA this week we have Arugula, Cabbage, Carrots, Beets, […]
Well another week, and more things to fix. On Monday we decided to make use of the nice weather to finish putting posts around the pond for the new fence, only to find that we couldn’t start the tractor that we normally use for the post hole auger. Fortunately we have another tractor that works, […]
Nov 28, 2022 Better late than never. Finally this week we were able to move inside for our Saturday market. It honestly was a nicer day to be outside than the previous Saturday, but still it was nice to be in out of the weather with no concern of the produce freezing before it could […]
Nov 21, 2022 Well it’s been a week. This is our first week with Dufferin Grove inside after two weeks without market on Thursdays. That combined with larger deliveries than we’ve had in a little while on Wednesday made it not really the best week for the van to be giving us problems. Naturally, given […]
