 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.
 Today is National Potato Day, so why not swing by our farm stand and grab some freshly dug, white or yellow potatoes? Then you can celebrate the humble spud by having our new potatoes for breakfast, lunch and dinner! We have beautiful, home grown sweet corn as well as fresh produce from local farms to further please your palate. If you’re looking for inspiration for tasty, creative potato dishes, feel free to visit my “Recipe” page for many original potato and sweet corn dishes. Happy Potato Day!
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!  Our packing shed is bursting at the seams as we prepare for an insanely busy week next week. All our vehicles will be on the road every day delivering an incredible amount of 50lb bags of russet and Yukon potatoes to our restaurants as they get ready for Good Friday Fish & Chips. It may be hard to believe, but all these potatoes will be gone by Monday! This means we will be packing at full tilt for all of next week. You can visit “National French Fry Day” and “National Potato Day” to see some of customers where you can get your fish & chips.
