🌱☀️🧄 THE CURLIEST HARVEST OF SUMMER IS HERE — GARLIC SCAPE SEASON! 🧄☀️🌱

Well now, if you've been strolling through The Farm-acy and spotted those curly green twirls sitting pretty on the stand, you might be wondering...

"What in the world is a garlic scape?" 🤔

Pull up a chair, friend, because we've got a story to tell.

Garlic scapes are the tender, curly flower stalks that grow from garlic plants in early summer. Before the garlic bulb below can reach its full potential, these beautiful green shoots are carefully harvested. By removing the scapes, the garlic plant can focus all its energy on growing bigger, stronger, more flavourful bulbs beneath the soil.

Now that's what we call a win-win. 🌱

As for taste? Think of them as garlic's fresh, charming cousin. They offer a mild garlic flavour with a hint of sweetness and a touch of green onion goodness. Delicious grilled, sautéed, roasted, blended into pesto, tossed into salads, or added to almost any summer dish that could use a little extra farm-fresh flavour.

But here's where it gets even better...

When you purchase garlic scapes from The Farm-acy, you're not just bringing home one of Ontario's most unique seasonal treats. You're supporting local agriculture, helping reduce food waste, and making sure every part of the harvest is put to good use.

🌿 Rich in antioxidants
🌿 A source of vitamins and minerals
🌿 Full of fresh garden flavour
🌿 Available for only a short time each year

Like so many treasures of the growing season, garlic scapes don't stick around for long. Their season is short, their flavour is special, and once they're gone, you'll have to wait until next year to enjoy them again.

So don't let these curly little beauties fool you. They may look fancy, but they're country at heart and packed with flavour.

💚 Stop by daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and pick up some of the freshest garlic scapes you'll find anywhere.

💳 We gladly accept cash, debit, and credit.

📍 148 Concession 6 East Hamilton (Waterdown Area). Halfway between Centre Road and Highway 6 North, on the south side of the road.

And around here, we believe food simply tastes better when it's:

🌱 Grown local
💚 Picked fresh
🚜 Raised with care
✨ Shared with good folks

Because when produce is grown the old-fashioned way—with sunshine, hard work, and a whole lotta love—you can truly taste the difference.

🍓☀️ Well, butter our biscuits and call it summer... The Farm-acy's field strawberries have finally arrived!

Now let us ask you a very important question...

Do you know what summer tastes like?

If you answered a fresh Ontario June strawberry, we'd say you're absolutely right. 🍓✨

These beautiful little berries are officially in season, and they're everything we've been waiting for. Sweet, juicy, sun-ripened, and bursting with flavour, they capture the very essence of an Ontario summer in every bite.

One taste and you'll quickly be reminded why strawberry season is such a treasured time of year. Before you know it, you'll be reaching for another berry, and then another, wondering how a basket can disappear so quickly.

And let's be honest—there are strawberries, and then there are Ontario June strawberries. That's a completely different kind of delicious.

🍓🌱 The Farm-acy is now officially open for the season! 🌱🍓

Stop by daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and pick up some of the freshest strawberries you'll find anywhere.

📍 We're located at 148 Concession 6 East, halfway between Centre Road and Highway 6 North, on the south side of the road.

Want to make sure some berries are waiting just for you? Custom orders are always welcome! Simply give us a call between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at 905-689-5466, and we'll be happy to set some aside just for you.

The season is short, and these ruby-red beauties won't be around forever. So don't wait too long to enjoy them while they're at their peak. Like all of summer's finest gifts, they're here for a good time, not a long time.

So swing by The Farm-acy, pick up a basket (or maybe two), and savour the sweet taste of the season while Mother Nature is serving it fresh from the field.

🍓 Sweet.
🍓 Juicy.
🍓 Picked at their peak.
🍓 Worth every sticky finger.

🌱💚 Well folks, Ontario asparagus season is officially halfway through, which means one thing — if you've been thinking about getting your hands on some farm-fresh asparagus, now's the time to quit pondering and start picking!

Our Ontario-grown asparagus has been turning heads and filling plates all season long. In fact, it's become quite the talk of the town (and the dinner table). If you haven't had a chance to taste The Farm-acy's asparagus yet, what in tarnation are you waiting for? 😉

And for all you canning and pickling enthusiasts, this is your moment to shine. There's nothing quite like opening up a jar of locally grown Ontario asparagus in the middle of winter and getting a little taste of summer all over again. Why not enjoy farm-fresh Ontario asparagus all year long?

Now for a little sweet news...

Rumour has it we may just find ourselves with some fresh strawberries tomorrow. 🍓 If Mother Nature cooperates, you'll find us serving up those juicy red beauties right alongside our delicious farm-fresh asparagus tomorrow afternoon at the Petro-Canada Gas Station, on the northeast corner of Highway 6 North and Concession 6 East.

And that's just the beginning! Strawberry season is expected to officially kick off next week, which means The Farm-acy's farm stand will be opening for the season as well. We can't wait to welcome everyone back for another summer filled with fresh-picked goodness.

Be sure to keep an eye on our social media pages for the official farm stand opening announcement. Trust us — you won't want to miss out on our strawberry season. Around here, these sweet little berries tend to disappear faster than pie at a family gathering. 🥧🍓

And if Mother Nature decides to throw a little country tantrum? Don't you fret your overalls — you can ALWAYS place a custom order instead. 💚

So if you've been craving fresh-from-the-farm goodness, come on by, say hello, and grab yourself some asparagus before the crowd scoops it all up faster than pie disappears at a family reunion. 🥧😉

Don't go dilly-dallying too long, because these tasty green spears are only here for a short while, and asparagus season waits for absolutely nobody.

And for those wanting to make sure they get their hands on the good stuff — yes ma'am, yes sir — we're still offering custom orders too! Just give us a call at 905-689-5466 between 10 AM and 5 PM. Any earlier and you may catch us wrangling veggies... any later and the squirrels may be running the office and answering the phones. 🐿️☎️

So next time you're snapping up a bundle of asparagus, just remember... you're not just eating seasonal produce — you're enjoying springtime fuel with benefits. 🌱

Come grab a bunch and add a little taste of spring to every plate, because around here, asparagus season is short, sweet, and worth every crunchy bite. 🌱✨

Since it's Local Food Week here in Ontario, we figured it was the perfect time to share a tasty recipe made with fresh, locally grown Ontario ingredients.

🍓🌱 Strawberry Asparagus Salad

🔸Ingredients:
1 bunch of fresh asparagus, trimmed
2 cups of fresh strawberries, sliced
4 cups of baby spinach or mixed greens
½ cup of feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup of pine nuts (lightly toasted)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

🔸Honey Balsamic Dressing
3 tbsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp of honey
1 tsp of Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper to taste

🔸Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the asparagus for 2–3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Transfer immediately to ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine spinach, asparagus, strawberries, feta, pine nuts, and green onions.
Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve.

🔸Farm-Fresh Tips
🌱 Use freshly picked Ontario asparagus when it's in season.
🍓 Local strawberries make this salad especially sweet and flavorful.
♦️(Soon ours will be in season- just stay posted to our social media accounts for this special posting)♦️
🧀 Goat cheese can be substituted for feta if you prefer a creamier texture.

This is a perfect spring and early summer salad—sweet, crunchy, savory, and packed with fresh local ingredients. 💚🍓🌱
