Brave Child Farm

Final bed prep for the year. In our area the never ending rain of the West Coast and our clay soil makes getting into the field in the spring difficult (more like impossible and very disheartening)... See our posts from the spring. . . So we are testing out a few strategies, including raising the beds now and protecting the beds with cover crop and tarps over the winter. We are also upping our drainage game to improve getting water off the site as fast as possible. .... . Still lots of work before we are done for the season, but we are getting there! . . #farming #bravechildfarm #farmtotable #fall See more

CSA Week 13 with @huafoundation Choi Project. The boxes are getting harder and harder to pack! So jam packed and heavy. . . . In the photo are purple top globe turnips, purple daikon, canteloupe, kale, broccoli, beets (look at those amazing tops ), Armenian cucumber, grapes, and kohlrabi.

Learned a new way to use red Japanese shiso (perilla). Shiso vinegar! Super stoked to try different versions out. So far we've made it as a syrup with rice vinegar and apple vinegar. So refreshing with soda (courtesy of our soda stream). Can't wait to try it out in a salad dressing, or maybe as a dip for salad rolls? The colour that comes out is amazing.

CSA Week 12 with @huafoundation Choi Box. Titled 'Last Days of Summer'. We have corn ! In our neck of the woods it tends to be hit and miss but they made it! And those edamame . I hope your pot is ready! . . . In the photo corn, edamame, caraflex cabbage, lettuce, kale, carrots, broccoli, uri (Japanese melon), and tomatoes.

Preview of some up coming goodies for our CSA! Sweet potatoes, corn, broccoli, and purple cauliflower. Love the rainbow of colours .

CSA week 11 with @huafoundation Choi Project! The end of August burn-out is real . The weekly harvest is getting heavier and heavier. . . . In the photo are eggplants, ong choy (water spinach), napa cabbage, daikon, potatoes, grapes, tomatoes, yu choi sum, and green korean hot peppers.
