First broccoli harvest 🥦 Caught them just in time before they start to flower. These will be blanched and frozen for the winter, but the rest of the crop will be for sale at our farm stand starting this weekend.

Gypsy broccoli are really starting to set their heads now.
April showers may bring May flowers, but May showers are bringing June strawberries, lettuce, kale, cabbage and broccoli, artichokes, and potatoes!

Potatoes a plenty and cucumbers galore. We planted 9 types of potatoes and 5 varieties of cucumbers today 😮

Tons of sweet peppers and tomatoes planted today in the greenhouse. Tomorrow, the cucumbers go in. One more week until the store opens, but you can already shop online if you're in the Kingston/Gananoque area.

We put the new farm hand to the test today (unlike Odin, he's a hard worker) and got the greenhouse rows ready for planting. It's a lot of hard work as we continue to build up the soil, but it's all worth it in the end.

The rain held off long enough today to plant the lettuce row. Romain, buttercrunch, and tendergreen bibb 🥬🥬🥬

Brassicas are all in! This year, we're keeping it simple: Lacinata kale, gypsy broccoli, and three types of cabbage.

It's that time of the year, and we're getting ready to see all your smiling faces again. Soon, we'll have all our seedlings out and on sale. Stay tuned for updates...and find out when we're open for the season.

More seedlings potted up today, and some brassicas moved out to the smaller greenhouse out front. I can't believe we'll have the shop open soon 😯

Another busy day at the farm. We got our fennel, Arctic (AKA NZ) spinach, and a few peppers potted up today. Then, we planted all our tomatoes, some serrano peppers that we forgot last week, artichoke, and marigold seeds!

The fresh scent of grapefruit ushers in spring this year.

Thanks! We have one big silver maple for now and planted 5 new sugar maples last year
Did you know that sugar maples aren't the only trees you can tap for maple syrup? We tapped our silver maple this year for the first time, and we're already at 30L of sap from just 2 buckets 😯
