Why, hello strangers.

It's the moment you've been waiting for...sort of. I'd like to announce a FARMSTAND TAKEOVER!

The FARMSTAND will be OPENING tomorrow, Monday - Canada day. For the next few months the farmstand you've come to love is being taken over (stocked and managed) by our neighbours, Meghan and Dave of Martha's new growers . If you've been to the stand last year, you likely would have met Meghan :). Check them at and follow them for any news and updates.

For me, every season is a bit of a circus between farm and off-farm responsibilities and this one is no exception. With a few extra projects pulling me in different directions, it felt necessary to scale back production and close the farmstand in its traditional sense.

I will continue to stock Vacheresse Meats with some of the essential OG lineup but otherwise Ill be growing more cover crop than crop and taking a break from the social media ✌️.

Thanks all and apologies for interruptions in service. Get out there and support Meghan and Dave in their new venture ❤️.

Last photo taken of the garden dated November 10th.
It doesn't look much like this anymore as we prep for the colder days ahead BUT there is still lots of greens available. Big and small bags of both spinach and mix are available along with plenty of kale, chard, carrots, beets and squash.
Farmstand will remain open until otherwise mentioned. Thank you all for the ongoing support ❤️!

Duck, duck, goose.

Figured I'd take a picture. These blocks of rye rye are about to go under a less than beautiful sheet of black plastic.

Goal: to hopefully reveal a w**d free mat of mulch in about a months time 🤞.

Over wintered onions be thy goose. And them fresh geese will be heading to the farmstand in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
