The abundance begins!

So I guess it’s true—time flies when you’re having fun—especially when you’re farming!  Where did July go?  We are busy as ever harvesting and finding places to sell our products, while also trying to get our winter plantings in the ground and tending to two batches of chickens. 

Our field is producing the best-looking and tastiest produce I have ever experienced.  I know you may think my opinion is biased, but it is true.  The sunflowers and mustards are taller than I can reach, our beans, peas, and squash have made quite the jungle, and the zucchinis are pumping out enough squash to feed an army.  A good problem for farmers to have, I suppose. 

Our second batch of birds are only a week or two away from the abattoir, and we’ve got another batch on the go.  And let me tell you, they make great beer-can chicken for summer barbeques! 

We are looking for interested restaurants, stores and caterers to take some of this wonderful food off our hands!  Visit the “Products” page for details. 

Ooo Delalay Ooo Dalia!

What can I say, we are happy farmers

Suddenly Summer

Well it seems that summer has arrived! After a rather grey - but reasonably mild - June, the sun is making up for lost time! The result for us has been the sudden explosion of of both our crops and their weedy companions. We've been keeping busy finishing up the majority of our planting, getting a handle on those inevitable weeds, and tending our chickens, the first of whom made the trip to the abattoir just yesterday.

So if you were waiting anxiously for some organically raised and well pastured chickens, we've got a freezer full!

Speaking of birds, our beans are coming along nice as well! Although it'll be a couple months yet before they're ready for the soup pot.

Most everything else is growing along nicely as well. So much so that we've decided on making our first trip to the Comox Valley Farmers' Market on July 13th! We're very excited for the opportunity to meet everyone in this wonderful community that supports local food producers.

Hopefully we'll see you there - we'll be on the lookout for you!
