The Common-Tater
It’s indisputable. Winter has arrived in Southern Ontario. We continue to welcome the general public to stop in to pick up farm fresh produce during the week. While our sweet corn is sadly a distant memory, we continue to offer 10lb white potatoes, 10lb yellow potatoes, 10lb cooking onions, 10lb red onions and green cabbage. This produce is either grown here at the farm or sourced from local farmers. Feel free to stop in and say hello, and don’t forget your hat and gloves! You can visit “At The Door” for product pricing and directions to our farm.

Grab your broomstick and fly with me over our spooky pumpkin patches! And just in case you’re not a witch and don’t have a broomstick, you can always stop by the farm to grab your last minute pumpkins to add to your scary Halloween décor. If you need inspiration for carving your pumpkins you can visit “Jack-O’-Lanterns.”
It’s one week until Halloween. Do you know where your Jack O Lantern is? It’s probably here at the farm calling out your name! We have an amazing selection of our homegrown orange and white pumpkins available for sale at the farm door. We’re open all weekend to the general public. Did you know that we have two very busy stalls at the Ontario Food Terminal in Toronto? We are well stocked with bins of pumpkins available for wholesale purchase at these stalls. You can visit “The Pumpkin Patch” to see a video of John and Curtis planting pumpkins.

Join us as we continue to celebrate the season of “fummer” here at the farm! This rare season occurs when the weather conditions are perfect for our produce stand to be fully stocked with the finest produce that’s available during both summer and fall. Our sweet corn, mini new potatoes and Ontario field tomatoes continue to be in season, and we are happy to offer beautiful, homegrown orange and white pumpkins. You can visit “At The Door” for directions to our farm.
I’m so excited to introduce all of you to my “Little Rosies!” I’ve been patiently waiting for them to grow for months now, and they’re finally ready to sell at the farm stand. My novelty potatoes will add an element of colour and fun to your dinner plate (plus they complement our sweet corn perfectly.) These pale, pink-skin potatoes were hand-planted and hand-harvested. They will be available at the farm stand for the next few weekends. I suggest wrapping them in foil and cooking them on the BBQ to maintain their subtle colouring. You can visit “At The Door” for directions to our farm.

Our new potatoes are ready & waiting for you at our farm stand. These small, white potatoes are only available for a short time during the summer. We sell them unwashed at this time of year to protect their tender skins. Store them in a cool dark place and only wash them when you’re ready to cook them.
One of the best ways to enjoy their unique flavour is to simply boil the new potatoes, squash them lightly with a fork and add butter. You can also visit “BBQ Smash Potatoes” for one of my original new potato recipes. PS Yes, our corn is almost ready! |
