The world’s most expensive crabapple jelly. 😂

$320 a jar.

Okay, okay… maybe not. It’s actually $9.99.

But this is our first ever crabapple jelly, made from crabapples grown on trees we planted four years ago at Plum Hollow Farms.

Four years of nurturing those little trees, feeding them compost tea, putting up fences, protecting them from deer and mice, and generally trying to keep every critter in Eastern Ontario from eating them before we could.

So maybe $320 isn’t that crazy. 😉

We’re pretty proud of this one. And it tastes awesome.

Limited quantities are available now at the farm stand for $9.99 a jar.

If you’re in the Delta, Athens or Elgin area, come by and grab one while they last.

Shout out to Smyth Welding & Machine Shop for making our mighty roller crimper.

It lays our cover crop flat without turning the soil over.

We ran it across the far end of the creekside field today where we've been growing radishes.

Specifically, these are tillage radishes, not the kind you eat.

They grow deep, breaking up tough soil, then stay in the ground and feed the soil as insects and micro critters break them down.

No tilling or artificial fertilizers.

Just biology doing the work.

It's true, Farmer Steve is out standing in his field.

But in fact there are very good farming reasons for all this buckwheat.

🌱 Cover the soil

Buckwheat grows incredibly fast, creating a dense canopy that helps suppress weeds, protect the soil and improve soil structure. Its roots can also help make phosphorus more available to future crops.

🐝 Feed the bees

Buckwheat flowers are a favourite with honeybees and other pollinators. And the honey? Dark, rich and distinctive. Our bees know what they’re doing.

🥞 Make food

We’re also growing some buckwheat for the grain. Buckwheat flour is naturally gluten-free and can be used for pancakes, soba noodles, crackers, breads and other baked goods.

So yes, Steve is out standing in his field.

But he’s also growing soil, feeding bees and making dinner.

That’s a pretty productive place to 🐝.

Farmer Steve filling in for the bees today. 🐝🥒

Because the greenhouse stays enclosed, the cucumbers are not getting natural pollination, so Steve’s hand-pollinating each flower with a tiny paintbrush to help the plants produce fruit.

Has anyone successfully kept bees or other pollinators inside a greenhouse? Curious how other growers handle this.

Until then… paintbrushes for the win. 🎨🥒

If you think your job’s stressful, try unpacking thousands of mildly annoyed bees after a bumpy road trip.

Huge shoutout to Steve from for delivering tens of thousands of pollinating pals safely to their new home.

They seem much happier now. 🐝🐝🐝

Thanks again Steve!!
