Autumn is a great time on the farm.
The pace eases off, the colours start to turn, and what’s coming out of the farm shifts with the season.

Our Feast will start with a farm tour, looking at what’s happening at this time of year and our farming practices before settling in for a long table lunch built around what we’re harvesting right now.

A relaxed afternoon, good food, and a chance to sit down together.

A small but powerful helper in the brassica patch.

These tiny white cocoons are from parasitic wasps that target cabbage white caterpillars. The wasp lays its eggs inside the caterpillar, and when the larvae emerge they spin these small cocoons on the leaf before becoming adult wasps.

Within a few days dozens of new wasps will hatch and continue searching the garden for caterpillars.

It’s one of the many quiet processes happening in the background that helps keep the farm in balance. Nature doing the work.

A good reminder that sometimes the best thing a farmer can do is simply leave things alone.

Slow start to the season, but the eggplants are finally doing what they’re meant to do.

Feels like they’ve sat there for ages, thinking about starting and now they have 😊. Strong leaves and first decent fruit setting. Keep growing little buddies 🤞

Freshly pulled onions, now getting the slow treatment.

After harvest we cure them for about a week under the shade of the quince trees. Good airflow, no direct sun, plenty of time for the skins to dry down and the necks to seal.

It’s one of those simple, old-school steps that makes a huge difference to storage life and flavour. No rushing it, just letting nature and patience do their thing before these head off to to be hung in the shed.

This block’s had a pretty serious glow-up.

About six months ago we pulled out the asparagus crowns and then tarped the whole block to let it reset. The tarp starved out a heap of weeds, broke down old roots, and gave soil life a chance to rebalance without being constantly disturbed.

Now it’s onto its next chapter, the next crop is pumpkins with a green manure growing around them.

The green manure is doing some heavy lifting for us.
Shading out weeds and stopping the seed bank from getting a free run.
Living roots are feeding soil microbes every day.
Adding organic matter when it’s slashed and broken down.
Helping build better structure so water and roots move easily.

The pumpkins get space, nutrients, and protection.
The soil gets fed instead of flogged.
And the block keeps evolving instead of wearing out.

Every step, from tarping to planting to green manure, has a job to do for what comes next.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our Spring Feast on Sunday.

It was a true pleasure to welcome you to the farm, share a long afternoon around the table, and serve food grown and cooked with care. These events only come to life because of the people who show up with curiosity, good conversation, and a willingness to slow down and enjoy the farm with us.

We’re grateful for your support of what we do here at Gardners Bay Farm, and for choosing to spend your Sunday with us. Days like this remind us why we love bringing people together through food, the seasons, and this landscape we’re lucky to call home.

Thank you again for being part of it. We look forward to welcoming you back to the farm soon. Shout out to Kamel and Ruth for the photos:)
