Carrots and Clover. Getting ready for the #claringtonfarmersmarket #durhamregiontourism #newcastleontario

The Tomatoes are gone but some peppers and eggplants can stick around a little longer. #growingundercover and the local climate could push these much later. I need to get them ready for spring. #claringtonsmallbusiness #discoverclarington #bowmanvillereko #bowmanvillerekonetwork

A good week healthy purple vegetables at the Clarington Farmers' Market. Fresh summer onions and garlic too! 100% grown on our farm, without use of synthetic sprays or pesticides. See you on Sunday 10am - 2pm!

Even without the rain it’s amazing how well certain crops grow. Garlic is ahead of schedule this year and will be harvested soon!

The Clarington Farmers' Market is open again! Soft pre-order only opening this weekend, and full opening soon. Check out the new pre-order facebook group : Clarington Farmers Market Pre-Order Group

Plant trees, Eat more food. Driving around farm areas, sometimes you notice the giant piles of wood chips and tree trunks, from torn down shelter belts that were destroyed in the name of "efficiency and progress" University of Saskatchewan is helping farmers see how short sighted this is, how much production they loose by removing trees, and that once we understand the actual financial value of carbon, how much income the farmers is giving up. All of this potential with just random trees that the wind blew in. Imagine if the shelter belts were designed and planted with the most productive trees available for that context. Eat the trees.

To beet the radicchio heat, you have to work radicchio hours. #newcastleontario #localontario

Turnips are back ! Also check out the 15 soil profile from tomato planting. See the #worm way down there working away! Every one is important and that’s why we minimally disturb the soil. Provide them a good home, and they turn sand into soil. #ontariofarmers #clarington #newcastle #durhamregion

Evening first Asparagus harvests at the farm. #perennialpower

Krumbs Breadery&Stuff bread mountain morning delivery! Shop local and order extra for your freezer. This team delivers not only the Krumbs, but a whole bakery worth of bread it seems.

The exciting gambling part of farming is pulling off the row cover after a couple rainy windy nights. worried if you had put enough hoops for the weight, or another layer for the cold. Surprise! They mostly all survived. #ontariofarmers #durhamtourism #clarington

Prepping beds for next week. Finding giant worms. Alien Plants and a Hot Rod. The beds were hibernating under a tarp, then got a little straighten out and raking, then back under tarp to plant in the next couple weeks. #notill #hedgerow #newcastleontario #clarington
