β¨ Tunnel Day! β¨ We put up two caterpillar tunnels yesterday for our plant babies. And today, we're transplanting tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants under the warm and dry cover. These tunnels offer low-cost season extension to get tasty Mediterranean crops onto plates for more weeks in the year. Shout out to Multishelter Solutions for making these sweet Hanley caterpillar tunnels. We love their simple design and easy installation. π¨
That's a wrap for onion planting. It was a breeze with a great team, clear skies, and warm sun.

The numbers are in: $4,969 donated last year
Holy kale! That's a BIG impact for a little farm like ours. Your CSA sign-ups and accessibility fund donations make a difference.
Where did all those veggies go?
$310 was allocated to one family for a summer, bi-weekly CSA share. It was the only request made to our accessibility fund in 2023.
$4,659 in fresh, high-quality vegetables were donated to the South Grenville Food Bank; serving the community around our farm. This food bank is run by a small team with a BIG heart, feeding families across a vast area. A special shoutout to their warehouse manager, who made the trek out to the farm every Thursday to pick up donations.
We dream of a future where everyone has the means to access fresh, nutritious food, eliminating the need for food banks altogether. Until then, we're committed to growing our impact even further.
