I was going around the farm taking soil samples after my part of the herb harvest was finished. I ran into Lana, Julie, and Sarah harvesting tomatoes and ground cherries. This might be the end of tomato harvest. 😔 It has been such a great tomato season. Just yesterday David met with Sarah and Steph to discuss how they could make the tomato season even better next year, now that we have two new greenhouses. Farming never gets boring does it?

While the fruiting crops are winding down, the storage crops are really winding up. Greens, of course, are staying steady throughout the year.

Swipe to see a photo of Ainsley, Sara, and Kaitlyn hoeing greens that will be harvested in a few weeks. Also, Ben is working on a new display for herbs at the market.

We also made the decision to drain all of the waterlines to pumps and irrigation systems. We’re expecting a cold weekend.

A full van of beautiful produce was brought into Warehouse Market this afternoon. Find all our Abundant Acres vegetables and herbs, along with Holdanca Farm meat, produce from other local farmers, a selection of imported items, and an expanded grocery and dairy section. Andrew has also been introducing many new convenience food items. It is flying off the shelves!

Warehouse Market is located at 2767 King Street in North End Halifax. We are open seven days a week!
Weekdays: 9 AM to 6 PM
Weekends: 9 AM to 4 PM.

We have come to the point in the season, where everyone is starting to wonder who is going to win the big arm wrestle. Who has developed the most physical strength over the season? It is the time of year when people are carrying a lot of weight. We are trying to develop systems that reduce the load for people and increase it for machinery.

I’m amazed how much food is coming out of the fields!

Swipe to see lemongrass grass harvest, amazing broccoli, colorful, chard, new storage bins in the cold room, Sara holding a snake, a cleared out greenhouse with only rosemary remaining on the side, and Jeff practising unloading a pallet of kale bins off of Dumpy.

Thanks everyone for making this Thanksgiving week so amazing! Thanks to the farm team for growing and harvesting so many leeks and carrots and broccoli and lettuce and cabbage and tomatoes and rosemary and sage and thyme! Thank you to all the people who have been flocking to the Warehouse Market to get everything they need for their family meal. Thanks to all the organisms in the soil, all the pollinators, and all the pest predators.

Feeling so grateful!

Everything got washed, packed, and cooled before it got loaded onto the delivery van. Everything went to the Warehouse Market in North End Halifax. Please find our very full Little store at 2767 King Street at Richmond yards. Parking is available for cars and bikes.

Our ’twins’ today were Jeff and Kaitlyn. The day got sunny and hot half way through harvest ☀️☀️☀️

We harvested extra everything so that tables will be full this weekend. The beets are exceptionally delicious! The golden beets match the colour of the pollen on bees when they are pollinating tulsi. Steph finished harvesting the ginger so they could flip the beds and plant more fall and winter crops. Swipe to see the huge ginger rhizome!

You know the season is getting colder when you see people clutching warm drinks after lunch and talking about socks.

We’re a little sad to see the summer crops slowly ending but very excited to see new crops being planted.

*We’ve decided to offer an 8 week winter farm share in November and December. Stay tuned for more details soon.*

Local orders are now available for pickup at the farm. Wholesale orders went to the Halifax Food Hub. Everything else went to Warehouse Market. Find it all at 2767 King St. in Richmond Yards. Parking is available in Kings Square and underground for two dollars an hour. Covered bike parking is available next to the Market. We are open seven days a week.

Here is Kaitlyn harvesting lemon grass. Have you tried it?

If you swipe through the photos, you will see some of the recent bulk harvesting happening. Until we get the harvest van’s transmission fixed, we are using the 4 wheel drive dump truck (‘Dumpy’), and a tractor with a pallet on the forks to get bulk crops out of the (rather wet and somewhat poorly drained) field. We are grateful for the beautiful crops of onions, leeks, and brassicas coming out of that field though! 🙂

Rob is modifying Dumpy so we can load more on the back.

I found a metallic sweat bee on the stinging nettle. It is known to be a great general pollinator, and it is very beautiful!

At this time of year we are harvesting a lot of sage and rosemary! Good thing we planted more 😅

Before lunch a NS Power transformer on the road exploded and we suddenly did not have electricity. Hmm. We reported it, got the generator running, and Team AA just kept going! Our generator is set up to supply power to the house and greenhouses, but not the wash-pack area 🤔. Luckily the wash tubs were already filled, and people got out the flashlights on their phones so they could see and just keep going. Jeff was making lunch for the team and stayed cool as a cucumber. He set up at the propane wok burner outside and just kept going until David got the generator going. David had to get the backup generator going as well to finish charging the electric delivery van. 🤪

Today’s lesson: we need to have a backup system or plan for everything!

All the beautiful vegetables and herbs went in to Warehouse Market in North End Halifax. Find us at 2767 King St in the square at Richmond Yards. Bike and vehicle parking available adjacent to the Market.

We are open 7 days a week!
Weekdays: 9am to 6pm
Weekends: 9am to 4pm
*Next week we will be introducing longer open hours!*

Abundant Acres and Warehouse Market will be operating as usual on Wednesday September 30, which is the *National Day for Truth and Reconciliation*

On that day we will make a donation to the Mi’kmawey Debert Cultural Centre. It is a small thing, but we appreciate the work of this organization to share stories, and to protect oral histories and traditional knowledge.

The day is for focusing on truth and reconciliation. Including the truth that the farm is on land that was stolen from the Mi’kmaq.

We had a couple of hours to harvest before the rain started. Every cart and wheelbarrow was needed to haul crops out of the field. Check out the broccoli!

While harvest was happening, Ben and Robert went to pick up our second hand Chevy van. It looks bizarre, and needs some work, but we hope it will do the job.

Everything was brought into Warehouse Market this afternoon. The market is located in north end Halifax at 2767 King St. There is plenty of bicycle and vehicle parking adjacent to the market. We are open seven days a week.
Weekdays: 9 AM to 6 PM
Weekends: 9 AM to 4 PM.
