“it’s the Summer Solstice tomorrow and how exciting for summer to officially begin…so many people were jazzed with the chamomile bouquets we’re bringing more this week!….Go for an extra long walk, have an extra long conversation with a friend, stretch yourself out loooong on the grass (or your couch) and savour the long day.”

“we had the pleasure of welcoming cooks and servers from the Terrace Restaurant at Mission Hill for a farm tour. Hosting them at the farm was a real ‘full-circle’ moment for Carlos to reflect on…”herb bouquets”. These bouquets are a delightful mix of dill, sage, parsely, oregano and lemon thyme… the mingling scents a surefire way to give you a diversity of inspiration in the kitchen!”

Happy June!

Lots happening at the farm this week with tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers… and What’s in our Ears?

“Whoops: we blinked and May is over! It has been non-stop this month with new projects, fluctuating crops, new rhythms of farm hands and planning out the summer.  Reflecting back on the past month we are so grateful for some big achievements…”

“Everything is green and exploding from the spring rains and increasing sunshine….This past winter, I felt like I almost forgot what spinach tasted like, having to resort to big-box imported spinach…“Procrastination is a coping mechanism.”…”

“Growth is our game, both as a farm growing things every day, and as a small business, growing in capacity and success. And it can be challenging to find the perspective of contentment while maintaining the perseverance for development. But it’s a teeter-totter that we balance in all of our lives.”

Change, veggie boxes, and a return to the market!
