Squash harvest is in! We pulled everything from the bed before the big frost, and it took every container we have. There are three varieties of acorn squash (Honey Bun, Celebration, and Traditional) and a ton of beautiful spaghetti squash (small wonder).

If you live in Coldwater or Orillia, you can order these incredible squash and other farm fresh vegetables for FREE delivery every week through our online store (link in bio). Place your order before midnight on Sunday, and we will bring your custom vegetable box to your doorstep on Tuesday morning.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone that has supported us at the market (Barrie Farmers’ Market Est 1846, Gravenhurst Farmers Market, and Rosseau Farmers Market) and through online store orders this season!

Kohlrabi! It's an if-you-know-you-know vegetable that you might have a hard time finding in the grocery store. Cooked or left raw, there's a ton of interesting kohlrabi recipes out there (some using the leaves too).

We'll have this and more at Rosseau Farmers Market on Friday (tomorrow) and at the Barrie Farmers Market Est 1846 on Saturday this week. Keep an eye out for green and freshly harvested zucchini also, they are so versatile and delicious.

Using the Scuffler (on the one wheel tractor) to loose the weeds between the rows in the leek bed. We started these leeks from seed inside in January. Unlike an onion, leeks can take 180 days (6 months!!) to grow to full maturity.

Today we'll be hilling up the soil around the base of the plants to blanch the leek stems white. They are a time intensive crop, but the harvest of beautiful leeks by the end of summer makes it all worth it!

Here's a look into how we terminate cover crops for planting vegetables! Cover crops prevent erosion, protect moisture, and pull nitrogen from the air to the soil as they decompose.
