Its Rhubarb season!! I found the first recipe I want to try with our fresh rhubarb :)

The bareroot strawberry plants are here! I will be portioning them out today for everyone that requested some, then I will list what I have left

We have duck eggs again! Duck eggs are fabulous for baking, and last longer than chicken eggs. They also have more nutrients and a higher fat content. The photo is of a chicken (top left) and duck egg of similar size

Got too busy at the market to take a photo of what I had, but I did squeeze in a dash over to Panos Greek Goodies booth to try their dips. I bought the Tzatziki and Tyroafteri. Wow both were SOOOOO good!!! I cooked up some of our porkchops, chopped peppers and cucumbers with flat bread and ate every piece with the dips. Highly recommend picking some up the next time you come to the market. #comoxvalleyfarms #yqqeats #comoxvalleyfarmersmarket #tzatziki #tyrokafteri #panosgreekgoodies #porkchops

I have some beautiful pepper plants for sale at the moment, good if you can pot them up and keep them in a warm place like a greenhouse until you can get them in the ground (preferably in a greenhouse!)

Our Grow Your Greens seedling packs are now available to everyone that purchased gift certs! Please PM me for when you would like to pick-up

The farmers market is still at the exhibition grounds tomorrow but at the Rotary bowl. Check the map out to find us! https://cvfm.ca/

We are planning to have bare root strawberries for sale this year, I don't have numbers yet, just hoping to see what the interest is?

Bareroot strawberry plants will be for sale at our farm this Wednesday! Pickup will be through the week, you will need to PM me to reserve a time to come by and get them. COST: 20 plants/ $30. At this time we are not doing smaller amounts These will need to be planted as soon as possible. I will have information as a printout, but will also post a pdf on this page about them.

Some of the pork I will have at the market tomorrow!

We will be at the farmers market tomorrow! We will have eggs, pork (including bacon), swiss chard, frozen tomatoes and strawberries :)

We have lots of eggs right now! Drop by wed-sat 12-5pm for farm-fresh eggs. We can also make arrangements for pickups outside of these times.

After school TGIF smoothie! Our frozen strawberries, orange zest and orange slices, splash of lemon juice with a bit of sugar and water. SO GOOD!!

Strawberries and whipped cream! So simple and so yummy! We have lots of frozen strawberries for sale, topped and ready to go for holiday desserts, fruit salad, smoothies :) #comoxvalleyfarms #comoxvalleyfarmstands #yqqeats #strawberries #eatlocal #bcberries

We have lovely hams for sale! BUT they are big hams. BUT we have some suggestions if you want a ham but not many people to feed this year. One being the countless things you can use ham in from sandwiches, to eating with eggs. Soup is a great way to use both the meat and cook down the bone. Another idea is share the love! Make a wonderful meal you can pack up and share with another family! Hams are $10/lb. PM me for more info or to order one. And yes, this is what we will be enjoying for our holiday dinner!

This was so well written by Theresa I am reposting here. Most people that come to our farm get that raising the small amount of pigs we raise is far from cheap. But sometimes we get comments about it being expensive. This goes into the why.
