August 2015

It’s been a busy summer, and it’s not even over yet!  We’re up to our ears in zucchini, beans, cucumbers, basil, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, garlic, berries, onions, and so much more!  When we’re not harvesting, we’re keeping up with weeding and other maintenance around the farm, preparing for markets (SunTrio does 6 markets every week!) and planting up for the next round of veggies.  Right now we’re planting fall and winter veggies – carrots, beets, leeks, parsnip, rutabaga, kohlrabi, and so much more.

We’ve just started harvesting melons (multiple varieties of watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe!)  Come see us at one of the farmer’s markets to try a sample and decide which one you like best.  We’ll be more than happy to talk about our favourites too!

Next to come into season will be winter squash – spaghetti, acorn, delicata, pumpkins, and more.  We’ll be hauling them in from the field in about 3 weeks, and selling them through the end of summer and into the fall.

Blueberries are slowing down but aren’t gone yet, and strawberries and raspberries are still going strong!  We expect to have berries right into September.

Keep checking in with us at markets to see what’s in season, and find us on Facebook for more farm updates and photos of what we’ve been up to!

It’s a slow time of year but we’re still working hard! Our brand new tomato, cucumber and pepper plants arrive mid-February so we are in the midst of preparing our main greenhouse for planting.

Sprouts never quit! We always have sunflower, pea, buckwheat, broccoli, and daikon radish sprouts growing, sprouted mung beans and lentils, and plenty of wheatgrass.

Greens are growing slowly but we are still sending them to markets and keeping them available in our storefront as much as possible. We currently have mixed salad greens, arugula, spinach, and baby kale (availability of all greens is weather-dependant.)

Stop by the farm and visit our 24 hour storefront for greens, sprouts, carrots, squash, homemade pesto, tomato sauce, habanero jelly, and quince jam, and frozen wheatgrass shots and strawberries. Call or email us to place orders for trays of sprouts and wheatgrass, or visit us at one of our year-round markets! You can still find us every Wednesday and Saturday at the Hudson Market, and every Saturday at the Moss Street Market.
