๐ต๐ตLove is in the air...๐ต๐ต See you Saturday 8 am to 2 pm!
This week we welcomed our newest agricultural student from France, Camille, to our farm, just in time for her 20th birthday! She'll be with us for 12 weeks, helping and learning. Welcome, Camille!
CSA Week 5 is on its way! A few more crunchy items in the box this week! ๐ฟ ๐ฅฌ and for the BIO Boxes:
Summer might decide to show up after all ๐
Find us this lovely Saturday 8 am - 2 pm with all things fresh and yummy!
We're in a NEW location starting this week! Find us in the south east corner of the market, right beside Eggs and pasta and veg all in one corner! What could be better than that??
We were so happy to welcome the family of Geraud, our student from France, for dinner tonight. Lots of fun and laughter sharing stories through the language barrier!
Rhubarb-citrus marmalade = yum! First preserve of 2024.
We're here INSIDE just for this week, and outside starting next week. 8 to 2 See you here!
It may be chilly outside, but the power of the sun is at work in the greenhouse! No other added daytime heat except the ๐๐๐!
I made butter! Yummy!
Thankful to still be eating our own squash. One of our faves is so simple: slice a spaghetti squash in half, seed it, and bake it upside down in a pan with a little water until you can easily pierce it with a fork. Scrape out the squash with a fork and mix with an ample amount of butter, parmesan, parsley, salt and pepper. Return to the oven for a few minutes so the butter and cheese is all melted and gooey. Serve hot. Yum!
When farmers go on a date. ๐คฃ
'Cause making a snow friend with your grown up son = happiness.
Frosty.
What vegetable do you miss most in the winter?? There are lots I can't wait for, but I have to say locally grown lettuce is one I start dreaming about at this time of year. I can't stand the taste of grocery store lettuce so I wait for ours, but I'm missing my salads! How about you?

Guess it's time to start ordering. Can I do 100,000 a day and get this done by the end of the week??๐ฎ
Hello 2024! Seed ordering underway from my three favourite seed catalogues
As we say farewell to 2023, we want to say "thanks!" to everyone who supported our market garden farm this year, and for so many of you, for many years now. We're looking forward to bringing you more good food grown well in 2024. Wishing you all the best in this next circle around the sun, and Happy New Year's! ๐พ๐ฟ๐ป
After 14 years, we said goodbye to this beautiful one yesterday. Gryphon was the best of dogs, perfectly suited to our family, and we loved him unconditionally. We will always remember him like this, full of life and bounce and vigor. He lived the best farm-dog life, with lots of days seeking out deer in the forest and chasing rabbits and stealing the cats food. He loved us as much as we loved him, and was our constant companion through all these years, and we will miss him with all our hearts.
No longer puzzled๐ ._.view
Christmas Day shenanigans. I've been meaning to finish this wreath with the everlastings we grew this year. Thanks to for the creative work!
Happy Winter Solstice. May the turning of the days from dark to light bring you all good things.
Solstice prep is underway and wouldn't be complete without home-made Cranberry Sauce.
Even dragons can't keep hungry critters at bay ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ

How many peppers can you count?? ๐ค One, two, three hundred...one thousand... twelve hundred...more... ๐ถ ๐ถ ๐ถ #Growing2023 #Manitoba #grownherenotflownhere
Time to celebrate the growers and the stuff they grow (and, hmmm, why in the world would CANADA choose February for Canada Ag Day???? I mean, really??)
Which local vegetable do you miss most in the winter?? * Mine is DEFINITELY lettuce. I just ate a rare leaf or two of grocery store lettuce. Honestly...blah! Oh, how I miss the crunchy, juicy sweetness of a locally grown head of lettuce! ๐ฅฌ๐ฅฌ๐ฅฌ Some spring days, I just bring a head of lettuce in and munch away on the whole head, leaf after luscious leaf. * If you haven't signed up for your CSA share yet, be sure to head on over to the website to get your name in! #ManitobaVegetables #GrownHere
