The Common-Tater
Photo opportunities are endless when you’re surrounded by open sky. This spectacular sunset occurred last night as we remain in the grips of an extreme heat weather pattern in Southern Ontario. Stay cool everyone! You can visit “The Sky” to see more gorgeous sky photos that I took here at the farm.

Meanwhile, at the back of the farm…While Johnny has been stealing all the social media glory planting our potatoes, Curtis has been quietly planting our highly anticipated sweet corn crop for many weeks now. The planting of sweet corn is spaced out over 2 months to ensure that we always have a ripe section to pick for our customers. This video was shot as Curtis just started planting our second field. You can visit “Sweet Corn Fields” to see an aerial video of our sweet corn fields in full flower.
Let’s celebrate “Local Food Week” by introducing you to the farmers who plant our crops. These dedicated men plant our potatoes, sweet corn and all the rotation crops that are vital to our soil health. Thank you to John, Curtis, Doran and Mike for working tirelessly to ensure the crops are planted in a timely manner! You can visit my “Recipes” section if you’re looking for inspiration for delicious recipes that support local farmers.
And that’s a wrap folks! Yesterday our last 2 fields finally dried up enough for John to finish planting all our potatoes. So now we park the planter, sit back with our feet up and watch the crop grow…..not really! You can visit "Tractor Joy Riding” to see the potatoes being planted from the unique view of inside the tractor when I tagged along with John.
Just another day in the office here at the farm. This is why we do what we do. Why would we work anywhere else?! You can visit “Night Planting” to see Johnny hard at work planting our potatoes well after the sun sets.
