Rainwater Farm & Nursery

Finnaly!!! Our large order of microgreen seeds that were arriving December 4 arrived yesterday and I am already planting this morning. Starting next weekend we will have fresh micros availbile for pick up or delivery with a minimum sized order to Maple Ridge residents in my area. First batch will be Sunflower, Pea, and Radish or a combo of all 3 in our very well know Zesty Mix Pea, Sunflower and Zesty are all $5 per 100 grams and radish $5 per 50 grams. I am also plann...ing on getting our 1200 sqft greenhouse set up over the next few weeks and have greens such as arugula, spinach and lettuce ready sometime in March. This will be a bug free set up as I had many problems growing organic loose greens last year as we don’t spray here. Down to only about a dozen guaranteed spots now for our $25 weekly delivered veggie boxes. (Opens to Maple Ridge customers only now West and including Webster’s Corner due to higher than expected demand) I will try to work something out come spring for friends and family in tricities.

Harvesting and washing a late season patch of Deep Purple carrots this week. Should have tons availible if anyone in interested. Pick up Sunday at the farm in Maple Ridge if you are close by. $4.50lb. These are real sweet carrots that take a long time to grow. I will harvest more on Saturday for ourselves and pick up

My first run of microgreens in my year round grow room is looking good. I will eat these tonight before I start larger scale production later in week. Someone needs to make sure they taste good! Should have fresh micros ready for sale in about 2 weeks! This will include Sunflower, Pea, Radish, Zesty Mix (a combination of all 3) and arugula for now.

Feeling very greatful this morning for the amazing response to our local delivery program coming ealry spring next year. We have only about 15 to 20 spots left to fill for our entire free delivery quota for next year. I will reach out and get email addresses and send details soon to all those who already expressed intrest. Our boxes will be semi customizable so you get what you need and want not items you don’t like or won’t eat! Free delivery will be on orders or a commitmen...t of $25 a week with 15% off for any add on’s etc like additional veggies, micros, starter plants or even hanging baskets with Tumbler Tomato we have already purchased seed for. If intrested please reach out and let me know where you live. Right now I’m targeting the Port Moody to Maple Ridge area for Sunday delivery. I grew up in Port Moody and will be bringing my parents a box once a week that day so makes sense! For those who like microgreens, they will be availbile on our online soon in just a couple weeks!
