Loving the vibrant beauty of this red kale!

#DYK that the reddish-purple colour is due to the presence of anthocyanins? These pigments are known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

It's gorgeous now, but just wait until fall - cooler temperatures intensify these hues 🤩

15 seconds for radicchio to show off 😏 Gorgeous and satisfyingly bitter!

These collards are the whole package - sturdy, large, robust leaves, packed with nutrition just begging to be eaten!

An excellent source of Vitamins K, A & C, they have good amounts of protein and calcium too! Talk about plant power 💪

A few moments to appreciate the gorgeous-ness of this chard!  (Hold your applause until the end please 👏)

Embracing the bitter beauty of dandelion!  Cut by hand and bunched with utmost care, the variety we grow is different than what grows on your lawns, characterized by extra large leaves. 1/4

Some of our lettuces begin their journey with a head start in a warm and humid greenhouse in early spring. When the time is right, the tiny seedlings get transplanted into our fields where they can spread out in the great outdoors, rooted in healthy soil. 1/3

We're ready to *broc your world!  😂

Broccoli season is here and our fields are bursting with it! There’s nothing like the taste of local, organic, in-season abundance. Watch out for it in your favourite stores 💚

Very happy to be harvesting delicious Ontario organic strawberries this morning! 🍓🍓🍓

Quantities will be limited for now, but the expected heat next week should help the berries ripen quickly. Check back for updates as the season progresses!

Ahhh that's much better!  Thankful for this afternoon's rain 🌧️

We love to see our veggies growing so beautifully!  They don't ask for much - healthy soil, sunshine, room to grow, and water. 1/2

Giving a little breathing room! Weeding between the rows can easily be done with a tractor. However, removing weeds right next to the newly emerged seedlings needs more precision.

As organic farmers we recognize there is strength in diversity. It may not always be easy, but it’s worth it. (1/3 keep reading)

Take a peek #BehindTheScenes as we pack onions that are so good they bring a tear to our eyes 😭 I'm not crying, you are!
