 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.

Here’s a great fall recipe if you’re looking for something a bit different to do with our sweet corn. My recipe for homemade smoky creamed corn takes about 15 minutes to make, and it’s so much tastier than canned cream corn. Start by frying smoky bacon, add the kernels from a few fresh cobs of sweet corn, and cook gently with heavy cream. Blend the cooked corn to your desired consistency, add parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh parsley. And voila! An amazing side dish that’s guaranteed to impress.
Our September sweet corn can be the best of the season, and it looks like the corn will be available for a few more weeks. Come and get it while you still can!

 Today we say farewell to someone who has been working at our farm for over 20 years. Roberto has been a dedicated, hard-working and reliable employee, and he has done so much for us over the years. His experience picking sweet corn, driving the tractors, and understanding the flow of the jobs at our farm is invaluable. It is with great bitter sweetness that we send him southbound to Mexico for the very last time. We will miss him so much, but know that he will be enjoying his family in a very much deserved retirement. All the best to you Roberto!
 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.
