The potatoes we sold last week were picked a little too early and had a bitter aftertaste. This is the first time we have heard of or had this problem. We did try a new variety this year and that may be a factor. The potatoes are much better this week having had a little more time to mature. The Vivaldi are a little later and will not be ready for another week or two.

If you bought potatoes last week please let us know and we will replace them with potatoes picked this afternoon.

Farming always seems to throw a twist when you don’t expect it. Sorry for any inconvenience.

We will be back at all three markets again this week. (Sackville, Moncton and Dieppe).

Les patates qu'on a vendues la semaine passée ont été cueillies un peu trop tôt et avaient un arrière-goût amer. C'est la première fois qu'on a ce problème. Nous avons essayé une nouvelle variété cette année, ce qui pourrait expliquer cela. Les patates sont bien meilleures cette semaine, car elles ont eu un peu plus de temps pour mûrir. Les Vivaldi sont un peu plus t**dives et ne seront prêtes que dans une semaine ou deux.

Si vous avez acheté des patates la semaine dernière, veuillez nous en aviser et nous les remplacerons par des patates cueillies cet après-midi.

L'agriculture nous réserve toujours des surprises. Veuillez nous excuser pour tout inconvénient.

Nous serons de retour aux trois marchés cette semaine (Sackville, Moncton et Dieppe).

We will not be at the Sackville Farmers Market this week.

Last year's drought has finally caught up with us and without carrots or potatoes we just do not have enough product. We will have a limited selection (like rutabaga!!!) at the Moncton Marché Moncton Market and the Marché de Dieppe Market this week. We hope to be back with new potatoes and tomatoes next week.

We have missed a few weeks for various reasons over the years. That said, a quick estimate shows what we have been at the Sackville Farmers Market 886 weeks since 2007!!! While expenses often outpace income, we have sold almost $700,000 of veggies at the Sackville Farmers Market since we started.

The season has finally come. The no carrot season. While the new carrots are on the way we have finally run out of last year's.

Work on the farm is very busy with lots of new crops growing. All that is left to plant is a few more storage carrots and the rutabaga.

As is the case, the busier we get and the more equipment we use the more things need fixing. It seems a full time job right now, often on the night shift.

Overall, things are going well and we look forward to many more bountiful harvests.

La saison est enfin arrivée : celle sans carottes. Alors que les nouvelles carottes sont en route, nous avons épuisé le stock de l'année dernière.

L'activité bat son plein à la ferme avec la croissance de nombreuses nouvelles cultures. Il ne reste plus qu'à planter quelques carottes de conservation supplémentaires ainsi que des rutabagas.

Comme c'est souvent le cas, plus nous sommes occupés et plus nous utilisons de matériel, plus il y a de réparations à effectuer. C'est une tâche qui semble occuper tout notre temps en ce moment, souvent jusque t**d dans la nuit.

Dans l'ensemble, tout se passe bien et nous attendons avec impatience de futures récoltes abondantes.

Don’t forget that the Sackville Farmers’ Market will be outside for the summer at the Bill Johnstone Memorial Park starting THIS WEEK; 9am until noon.

It has been a while since I have posted and the season is under full swing now! We have started field work a couple of weeks earlier than normal and it will be interesting to see how all the rain on Sunday settles. It has been so dry with the water table significantly lower than normal for this time of year.

The greenhouse is finally producing spinach!!! Jesus, Leopoldo and Luis have been busy washing and packaging veggies, cleaning up winter storage areas, getting the tunnels ready to plant while Hunter has focused mostly on the greenhouse with lots of peppers all in pots (approximately 1200 plants!!!) along with the grafted greenhouse tomatoes.

The big job this week is cutting over 20,000lbs of seed potatoes into smaller pieces that will be just the right size to plant. This is will be the most potatoes we have ever planted!!!
Last year’s dry summer and extra deer pressure put a big dent on our storage crops and our carrot and potato stock is getting lower and lower. I hope to have enough for another 6 weeks, maybe more.

With lots of fixing of machinery, field work started and hopefully another great season well underway we hope to see you at the markets. It will take until almost August before we have a lot of fresh product at which time we plan to restart our Halifax deliveries as well as all of our local markets!!!

N'oubliez pas que le marché fermier de Sackville aura lieu à l'extérieur cet été, au parc commémoratif Bill Johnstone, dès cette semaine, de 9 h à midi.

Ça fait un bail que j'ai rien publié et la saison bat son plein ! Nous avons commencé les travaux des champs deux semaines plus tôt que d'habitude et il sera intéressant de voir comment la pluie de dimanche va se répartir. La sécheresse est telle que la nappe phréatique est nettement plus basse que la normale pour cette période de l'année.

La serre produit enfin des épinards ! Jésus, Leopoldo et Luis ont été occupés à laver et emballer les légumes, à nettoyer les zones d'entreposage hivernal et à préparer les tunnels pour les plantations, tandis que Hunter s'est surtout occupé de la serre avec une grande quantité de poivrons en pots (environ 1 200 plants !) ainsi que des tomates greffées.

Le gros travail de cette semaine consiste à couper plus de 9 tonnes de patates de semence en morceaux de la taille idéale pour la plantation. Ça va être la plus grosse quantité de patates qu'on ait jamais plantée !

L'été sec de l'an dernier et la forte présence de chevreuils ont grandement affecté nos récoltes d'entreposage, et nos stocks de carottes et de pommes de terre diminuent rapidement. J'espère en avoir assez pour encore six semaines, voire plus.

Avec de nombreuses réparations de machinerie, les travaux des champs qui ont commencé et, espérons-le, une autre excellente saison bien entamée, nous espérons vous voir sur les marchés. Il faudra attendre presque le mois d'août pour avoir une grande quantité de produits frais, moment auquel nous prévoyons de reprendre nos livraisons à Halifax ainsi que sur tous les marchés locaux !
