 The sun is out, the colours are turning, and everyone is thinking about what to eat for Thanksgiving dinner. That's where we can help!
We have fresh organic Turkeys available. Please call 613 928 2477 to reserve yours. Rick made a special trip to ensure there are lots of fresh cranberries from Upper Canada Cranberry Farm. We've also got fresh herbs for seasoning that stuffing. There is the usual great selection of local veggies, including seasonal favourites like squash and Dad's sweet potatoes, as well as healthy greens. And then pies for dessert -- or fresh-picked apples for crumble. We're open every day during the long weekend, including the holiday Monday. Drop by when you are out enjoying the fall colours. And if you're closing the cottage this weekend [so sad!] make sure to bring a cooler to fill on your way back to the big city.

 Wow were did the time go? It seems like only yesterday we were starting seedlings in the greenhouse and now it is harvest time. Fall is a good time for routines to start again, and it has been a while since an update about life at our market. So here goes!
As most know it was a crazy year for all local farmers – the lack of rain was hard on our crops. In every challenging year though, some things do seem to thrive: this year our hot peppers and heritage tomatoes seem to have came out ahead. This is the first year in 4 that blight did not ruin the tomatoes. So we will have lots of sauces, salsas, hot sauces, chilis, and stewed and canned tomatoes for everyone during those winter months when we all wish for the taste of summers again. We will also be saving some of these dynamo tomato seeds to start new plants over the winter. There are so many things to do with tomatoes. Here is a simple salad that lets you enjoy the full spectrum of colourful heirloom tomatoes. Have a great week.
