The farm is bursting with summer abundance, and our Peak Season CSA begins this week! 🌱

For 12 weeks, you'll receive a weekly share of organically grown vegetables harvested at their peak, along with the chance to reconnect with the rhythms of the season and the people growing your food.

🌿 Farm pickup: Tuesdays, 3 - 7 pm (plus access to our pick-your-own flowers and herbs)
🥖 Kitchener pickup: Wednesdays, 3 - 6 pm outside Roux Bakehouse - pick up your vegetables and your weekly loaf of sourdough in one stop.

If you've been thinking about joining, now's the time. We'd love to have you with us this season.

From 45°C heat to sudden storms at market - this was one of those weeks that reminded us just how unpredictable farming can be. I’ve shared the full story in this week’s newsletter:

Today and every day is a beautiful day to care for our Mother - Mother Earth.

She provides endlessly for us:
🌬️ The air that fills our lungs
🌊the water that fills our bodies
🥕 the food that fills our bellies
🌄 The beauty that fills our souls

Lately I've been thinking a lot about care work - the quiet, constant labour of tending, nourishing, supporting and holding things together. Whether it's caring for children, caring for community or caring for the land, so much of the most important work in this world often goes unseen and underappreciated.

For me, that care currently looks like tending the soil, growing food, and trying to nurture the community in whatever small ways I can.

💚 Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, grandmother's and anyone who performs care-giving in this world. Your work matters deeply, even though the world doesn't always reflect that 🌎🫂

🌱 Kale, Swiss Chard and 3 varieties of onions graduated from soil cubes to growing beds today thanks to for the tenacity!

🌬️ It's really windy today which means moisture is being stripped from the soil. Not our favourite condition and to counter it, we're irrigating with sprinklers 💦 even though it's supposed to rain tomorrow (allegedly).

⛱️ With our sandy soil, moisture drains away quickly and evaporates easily. That's also why we use lots of organic mulches - like the straw you can see around the kale.

👩🏼‍🌾 We choose non-plastic mulches as much as possible. They're more 💲💲💲but they help protect soil life, retain moisture, moderate the soil temperature and break down into plant nutrients.

🪱 Are you gardening at home? Keep your soul covered with straw, leaves, hay, wood chips to help feed your soil and create good conditions for growth!

Rain garden planting day here on the farm! We grow food for all our human and non-human friends and provide habitat too.
