Early cabbage varieties are so beautiful. 😍

First broccoli harvest 🥦 Caught them just in time before they start to flower. These will be blanched and frozen for the winter, but the rest of the crop will be for sale at our farm stand starting this weekend.

Gypsy broccoli are really starting to set their heads now.

Although it hasn't felt much like summer, there are still signs that it's coming.

April showers may bring May flowers, but May showers are bringing June strawberries, lettuce, kale, cabbage and broccoli, artichokes, and potatoes!

Yes peas!

Potatoes a plenty and cucumbers galore. We planted 9 types of potatoes and 5 varieties of cucumbers today 😮

Tons of sweet peppers and tomatoes planted today in the greenhouse. Tomorrow, the cucumbers go in. One more week until the store opens, but you can already shop online if you're in the Kingston/Gananoque area.

Tonight, we planted the fennel and celery.

We put the new farm hand to the test today (unlike Odin, he's a hard worker) and got the greenhouse rows ready for planting. It's a lot of hard work as we continue to build up the soil, but it's all worth it in the end.

The rain held off long enough today to plant the lettuce row. Romain, buttercrunch, and tendergreen bibb 🥬🥬🥬

Brassicas are all in! This year, we're keeping it simple: Lacinata kale, gypsy broccoli, and three types of cabbage.

We like broad forks, and we can not lie. You other farmers can't deny.

It's that time of the year, and we're getting ready to see all your smiling faces again. Soon, we'll have all our seedlings out and on sale. Stay tuned for updates...and find out when we're open for the season.

More seedlings potted up today, and some brassicas moved out to the smaller greenhouse out front. I can't believe we'll have the shop open soon 😯

The garlic has sprouted!

Another busy day at the farm. We got our fennel, Arctic (AKA NZ) spinach, and a few peppers potted up today. Then, we planted all our tomatoes, some serrano peppers that we forgot last week, artichoke, and marigold seeds!

The fresh scent of grapefruit ushers in spring this year.

Thanks! We have one big silver maple for now and planted 5 new sugar maples last year

Our very first maple syrup batch.

Did you know that sugar maples aren't the only trees you can tap for maple syrup? We tapped our silver maple this year for the first time, and we're already at 30L of sap from just 2 buckets 😯

Hate these things! They're everywhere in our house, and they eat the houseplants.

Pepper, eggplant, fennel, and chive seeds planted today.
