This is what was left of our meal by the time we realized this NOTHING on our plate came from the grocery store - and that this meal was largely brought to us by the magic of .

The sea-kale, a perennial (!!) came from our favourite permaculturist, , asparagus from the one and only Fair Fields Farm (they're not on socials) and the shiitakes from the incomparable (who now farms w our all-around-faves: , who provided the onions and garlic). The rest of the ingredients pasta (already gobbled up) and dairy for the sauce, came from . And really, you could get the kale and asparagus from them too. Oh, almost forgot, smoked sausage from yours truly. Also available at ;)

How's that for knowing where your food came from?

STRAWBERRIES ARE HERE!
This amazing news didn't make it into the newsletter this week, but we will have Fair Fields organic strawberries at the farm store this week.
Also: Cedar Down veggies are back, and it's a great lineup: kohlrabi, book-Choi, kale, green onions and lettuce. 🥬

None of these things are listed on the webstore. It's just first come first serve!

See you all Friday!
Store open 10-6

🚨 New product alert: veggie pot pie. We were so excited to try this we forgot to take a picture before taking the first bite. These taste great, and they also make us feel great, bc we're using ingredients from some of our faves: spinach, sweet potatoes, Fairfield corn.

The pastry is real puff, rolled by hand by farmer-chef Jay 👨🏼‍🌾 👨🏼‍🍳 using organic flour from our local feed supplier five-star seeds, and golden dawn butter.

The greens are from a hook-up from cedar down. Numnumnum. Perfect lunch.

FYI: we can't bring these to market, but you can order from our website to pickup at market... politics 🙄

Market stall vibes curtesy of the soft September light and 's lovely flowers. Hard to make a frozen product table flashy... hand sanitizer cameo to be up with the times ;) We're at the (most) Saturdays 8:00-12:30 with our prepared foods. ALSO: did you know you can pre-order farm products to pickup at market??? Just order online and indicate "market pickup" in the order notes. Easy!

Seasonal eating at its best | this clafoutis recipe (from ) is a go to at the farm this time of year, when an over abundance of farm fresh eggs coincides w cherry season. It's a short window but we make the most of it 🍒

Let the dehydrating begin!!! Last year was our first year drying our own mint, and it was surprisingly easy. Under two hours/dehydrator load (pic 2). Dehydrated foods are incredibly shelf stable. The last picture is a cup of tea from last year's mint, still fragrant and deeply coloured. In the leaf department we also tried chives, oregano, basil (night and day with store bought!) linden and rosemary.

The internet is full of info on fruit drying -which is a bit more involved, but still relatively straightforward. Highly recommend!
