The Ugly Barn Farm is aptly named in description of the barn, not so for quality of products, service or intrinsic beauty of the property. Follow us to witness the 'Ugly Duckling story' as we work to turn this old barn into a working farm.

Well I couldn't decide which spring flower to pair tonight's mushroom supper with so I didn't and added them all!
This warm mushroom salad came together in minutes. The mushrooms were sauteed in olive oil and garlic, salt and pepper. In the meantime, I chopped the lettuce and added whatever seeds and veggies that were available! The dressing was simple, made from olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard and salt.
We are looking forward to attending 3 markets tomorrow! Opening day at French River Marketplace and Community from 9am-1pm and the beginning of the summer season at Sudbury Market 9-2pm and of course we will be near the waterfront at North Bay Farmers' Market 9-1:30

What's on the menu for this weekend? We think it should be grilled oyster mushroom skewers!
Thankfully we have bulk mushroom bins available this Saturday so you can grill up a storm!
These recipes you can be easily found online, but they are really so simple. Rip the mushrooms, put them in a bowl with oil and a rub of your choice (we used spices and Montreal steak spice). Coat your mushrooms with the seasoning and skewer them. Brown on either side for about 3-5 minutes. You may want a bottle of water or oil nearby incase they start to dry out. This wasn't an issue in the pan, but it may be on the grill.
Don't forget to tag us with your recipes! Half eaten or not 🤣!
Pro tip** We didn't have any handy, but add any skewered vegetables in between like green onions or peppers.
Thank you to for the tag earlier this week!

When you live in the North, the date of March 20th doesn't mean much to mark the first day of spring. For some it is the first day the sun shines and the snow begins to melt, for many it is the return of the birds and the call of the spring peepers.
At The Ugly Barn Farm, the first sign of spring begins when the outside oyster mushrooms begin to grow. It doesn't take many days above 0 for this to start. Thousands of blocks have been patiently waiting under the snow for their summer home where they will grow and produce as long as we provide them with the space and the moisture they need.
Happy spring!!!
