A big thank you to our summer students! Their hard work made really made the farm successful this season. Some will still be around the farm this fall but not like they have been for the past 4 months.

The next time you come to the farm and see the beauty or eat some of our produce know that these are the faces of the farmers that made it all possible.

This year we are trying a new variety of red Napa cabbage called Merlot from .

We found had a bit of cabbage looper damage in the field, but slightly less with this variety. It has good flavour and stunning colour.

We will try growing this one again!

Do you like Napa Cabbage?

Weekly w**ding.
Every week you need to make time to keep your crops w**d free. Disturbing the top cm or two will keep the newly germinated w**ds in check. If you dig too deep you risk bringing up more w**d seeds from deeper down to germinate sooner than later.
