🍅 It's tomato season and I thought I'd share this beautiful very easy gnocchi dish I made for guests the other day that is perfect for summer. You can eat this as a side (we had it with grilled chicken, salad and focaccia), or add some protein and make it a full meal!

Ingredients:
- 1 package gnocchi
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- 3 large garlic cloves, grated or smashed
- handful of fresh basil, spiced thin
- any fresh herbs youd like!
- fresh mozzarella (or omit for dairy free, which tasted great too!)

Method:
1. Heat oven safe skillet to medium high heat with some olive oil and sear the gnocchi on one side until its slightly brown (you can omit this step but it creates a nice crispy finish 👌). Remove to a bowl
2. Preheat broiler
3. Heat same skillet with olive oil/butter and add tomatoes. Cook until falling apart, using a wooden spoon to potato masher to press and smash them up. Add garlic and continue cooking a couple more minutes. Add basil, some salt to taste and any other fresh herbs youd like (I love thyme and rosemary for this. Fennel seed would be nice too, especially if youre adding cooked ground meat or sausage)
4. Remove from heat and add gnocchi, stirring to combine. Adjust seasoning as needed
5. Top with fresh mozzarella and broil until melted and a little brown
6. Serve with some extra fresh basil on top!!

You can buy our cherry tomatoes directly from us at the farm (pints are $5 each) or Your Independent Grocer on Gordon for the same price! Certified Organic and soooo sweet and delicious 😋

🌱 Our front garden is finally fully planted 🙌 we have about 1000 onions (red, yellow, shallots and leeks are my go tos. We start these EARLY in late Feb), two rows of fingerling potatoes, tons of various greens including lettuce, kale and Swiss chard, green onions, radishes, peas and our brassicas! Excited to get these all in the ground by the end of April because oh my, May planting is about to begin!!

What do you have planted in the garden?

🐝 This is what 90 bee hives looks like! Our beekeeper Jim, who keeps the bees up north from May to mid Oct, is currently packing them up to bring back to their summer home. He packs them up at night while it's much cooler and the worker bees have finished their foraging and they're nice and calm. They wake up and re-orient themselves to their new home.

Jim lost fewer bees than ever this winter, and split the hives from 50 to 90 a couple weeks ago, resulting in a TON of bees. The bees stay in early spring during blossom 🌸 to pollinate our fruit trees, then they get packed up just before some of the surrounding orchards spray pesticides, and arrive back home healthy and happy 😊 Im going to miss their familiar buzzing around the orchard but look forward to tasting this year's honey in the months to come 🍯

A lot of people ask if we get stung a lot at this time of year, and the answer is not often at all! They're quite peaceful creatures, and usually only sting when they've been moved, stepped on, or are being worked on in their hives.

Time to flip this bee home into our squash and melon patch!!!

Happy Spring everyone!!! I am back on the account (a little later than planned 😬) and excited to share what we've been up to! I've received many messages and emails asking how our crop is doing this year and I'm here to say everything looks good and we should have a full crop of fruit this season 🙌 The trees our pruned, the blossoms have popped nicely (although 1-2 weeks early!) and the bees have been BUSY polinating these past couple weeks with this warm and sunny weather ☀️

🍑 Peaches are here folks!!! 🍑

The wait is finally over, and we had our first taste of these freestone Harbrite peaches, and they are sooooo juicy and delicious (I think a single tear rolled down my cheek at breakfast 🥲).

We will be picking every couple days, including Red Havens, which are ripening quickly as well, so if you reach out and we are sold out, it won't be for long.

If you're not on our email list, where we send all prices and details for pick up, send me a DM and I'll add you!!

See you soon you peach lovers, it has been so worth the wait 🙌

🍑 About a week ago we finished thinning all the peaches and the orchard is looking so good 😍 Thinning is the process of removing (by hand for us)at least 75% of the developing peaches to leave space, and enough energy, to get the big sweet peaches we love. If you have a tree at home, do yourself and your tree a favour and thin them!

Just over a month until peach season folks 🙌

Happy Easter from the Crosbys! 🐣 🐰🌸

If you have time today to drive, bike or walk around East Kelowna, the cherry, peach and apricot blossoms are all popping, making the entire area extremely beautiful and fragrant (literally bringing tears to our eyes 🥹). Also, the
is hosting a special Easter themed market at the hall from 10-2, which we will be at supporting our vendors and enjoying in the celebrations.

So much gratitude for this season and the bounty to come!!! 🙏

Last year we finally bought a new (to us) tractor and this year we bought a flail mower attachment and we couldn't be more thrilled with it. Instead of breaking our backs picking up our prunings for days, we can mow and mulch the prunings all in one go 🙌 We continue to chip the bigger pieces for mulch that we use throughout the farm and garden beds, but finally getting bigger equipment for some jobs is such a game changer!
