For most farms September is the busy month as we start to harvest almost all crops planted, from Leeks, Squash, Brussel Sprouts, to almost everything seems to be ripe and ready to be picked.  The produce bag is rather large this week, and yet we have a lot more out there, so if you want something you do not see just ask we may have it, but not in large quantities.
It is time to order your Thanksgiving Turkey! This year most Turkeys are in the 10-20lb range,  we got them 2 weeks later than normal as the last few years the Turkeys were a little too large. So this year they are about 6-10lb now, and we hope to have them in the 10-22lb range with at most 16+lbs.  We raised 3 different varieties, so we should have a nice range of weights and sizes.
We also have a few frozen Whole Chickens around the 5-7lb range, and some Chicken Drums, Thighs, Breasts, and Wings for sale.  Although the pork supply is slowly dwindling, we  have 5 pigs going on September 16th so we will have a full freezer again with Bacon, Hams, Roasts, and more delicious sausage!   We also have a half cow being made into more Summer Sausage, this went to the butcher in August, but the smoking and curing process takes a few weeks and we hope to have the summer sausage back for Thanksgiving.

We are almost done processing our Garlic, and we hope to have a large selection right until the Sprint.  Our onions are currently curing, and in early September we will be processing them, and getting them into storage as well.
This week we will be starting to pick some of our Beets, and trying to transplant a lot more items for the fall season.  If you want to order a chicken for August 30th butcher, or a Turkey for Thanksgiving, let us know we have some available.

Although a little behind from last year, we have a good amount on the vines,so we hope to have a great September!  This week we pickup more baby chicks for the Thanksgiving butcher. If you want a Thanksgiving turkey or chicken, place your order. We also have some chickens available for the August 30th pickup as well.

Cucumbers are in full production with our plants taller than we can reach!  We have a few ripe cherry tomatoes, and we hope to have full production by the end of the month, with the first few pints and quarts of tomatoes coming slowly the next few weeks. This week we will be picking all our garlic, if the rain stops! So we are into summer farming mode and hope to have Cauliflower, more Broccoli and much much more coming.
The produce bag is rather huge, so if you want to order a selection of items let us know, we have a lot of produce available as we move into the peak season!
Another batch of Chicken will be available for pickup next Friday.  We hope to have a lot of nice 5-6lb chickens, these are a little smaller than the last few rounds.  We still  have some available if you want to order for pickup next week!

We have our early Veestar June Bearing strawberries ripe and in full production this week.  We expect to start picking our Mid season Wednesday and as usually, “all varieties” next week.  So if you love Strawberries, we have them! If you want them in bulk,we can make your strawberry dreams come true!
We will have Strawberries available any day during the week for the next few weeks, so if you want to order and pickup some throughout the week, let us know as we want to sell them as fast as we pick them!  This year our Strawberry patch is huge and producing well, so we do expect to be overloaded with the heat wave enroute!
In other produce news, may also have Kholrabi, Zucchini, and some other surprises that may grace the produce bags, we always hope for a few extra treats this time of year as the garden starts producing!
We are now at the Rockwood Farmers Market Wednesday evenings and at Guelph Farmers Market Saturday mornings. Feel free to order a produce bag for Rockwood, Guelph or pickup at the Farm.
