What better way to celebrate the Labour Day long weekend than with a closer look at all the dedicated and hardworking people who work at our farm? Our reliable employees help with picking sweet corn, packing potatoes, stocking the produce stand, delivering our products and extending customer care in the office (all under the watchful eyes of our attentive farm dogs, Riley & Riggs.) We couldn’t do what we do without all their help! Be sure to give them a friendly wave when you see their smiling faces! Enjoy this unofficial last day of summer wherever you are, and we’ll catch you on the flip side of summer as our fall produce begins to come into season. You can visit “Our Dedicated Employees” to learn even more about our fantastic staff.
 I invite you to eat the rainbow this weekend! Our farm stand is stocked with field tomatoes, cooking onions, red onions and cabbage from local farmers. Our homegrown sweet corn is at the height of its season and is picked fresh every day. We have new white potatoes, new yellow potatoes and are excited to introduce “Papas Moradas” which means purple potatoes in Spanish. These fingerling potatoes are deep purple both outside and inside and are only available for a short time. They will be sure to be a conversation piece at your dinner table, and they taste great too! Hope to see you soon! Please try to bring your own bags. You can visit “Contact Us” for our hours of operation and directions to our farm.
 Meet Sarah, my new dynamic office assistant who is very excited to share some great news with you! We have opened our corn stand for the season with some of Norfolk County’s finest sweet corn. You won’t be disappointed with this corn while ours finishes growing. We have Ontario tomatoes, onions and cabbage from local farms available, as well as our potatoes of course. You can visit “What We Offer – At The Door” for our hours of operation and directions to our farm.
 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.
Today is Food Day Canada where we celebrate the abundance of farm fresh, local produce available this time of year in Canada. The theme is “sharing,” so I’m reposting seven original recipes for interesting new potato and sweet corn dishes. These recipes were all developed and taste tested in my kitchen. New potatoes and sweet corn are available at our farm stand as well as gorgeous tomatoes, onions and cabbage from local farms. You can visit “Freezing Sweet Corn” to see how you can enjoy the taste of summer in the dead of winter. Click on the links below to print or download the recipes of your choice. Bon Appétit!
