This week we have a large Easter weekend produce bag! For those who come to the Guelph Farmers Market you will have noticed we also are selling some delicious newly boiled Maple Syrup made by Mathew Martin. And to add to this we also have some wonderful fresh roasted coffee beans from CafeO, https://www.roastedcoffeebeans.ca/We plan […]
Hello Maryhill Organic Fan Club!This is the first year we will be able to get on the land in March! The snow melted, and we have not seen much rain! This week we plan on getting our garden beds prepped and will experiment with planting some cool weather crops under frost cover in the field in […]
Our greenhouses are very very green and our produce is growing quickly. With the sunny days, the greenhouses are always up to 20c and usually over 25 and venting to keep cool. The farm is busy with seeding for transplants and greenhouse work! Our overwinter experimentation seems to have worked out well this year as […]
2021 has arrived and with the new year came 4 new baby goats! We will try to post more pictures to the website as we start to get ready for the new season and as we take care of our new little kids! Things are looking like Spring in the cold frames, our new greenhouse […]
January and February are currently the only months we generally do not have produce, however, today we picked Radish, Turnip and some Lettuce. Some things are doing well in our winter trials, while some others struggle for survival. We hope with time and testing we can produce and sell a produce bag every single month […]
Today we went to the Guelph Farmers market, the last time for 2020. We took Fennel, Purple Peruvian Fingering Potatoes, three varieties of Lettuce, small bunching onions, and five varieties of Kale! We hope to be back with more produce at the market in March 2021! We may have some Kale, Lettuce, and bunching onions […]
This is likely the last produce bag for the 2020 season, and it can come with a freshly butchered small Turkey. Just remember pickup is this Thursday evening, as the Turkeys will arrive back on the farm around 6pm Thursday December 10th. The Turkeys will be 10-15lb, order early as we have a limited number. […]
Saturday was a busy day before the snow! We managed to get Raspberries, Asparagus, Strawberries, and our soft neck garlic covered in a nice layer of straw. When there is not a good layer of snow, the straw helps to keep the frost from going to deep and killing the plants. Our cold frames are […]
We had snow, but it seems we are back to summer. This week we will have a small produce bag including a few heads of Lettuce, Kale, Kohlrabi, and some small Fennel and likely more. We will likely do a every other week produce bag, so expect the next Produce Bag November 25th. For those […]
This year November arrived with Snow! Have no fear, our frost covers did their work. However, with the -10C on Friday evening, the end of our tomatoes came a little quicker then we liked. Last year we managed all the way to December! Our frost blanks in the fields and in cold frames will keep […]
