Seasonal eating stories seem so one-sided. It’s easy to celebrate the first asparagus of spring, the first tender green chives, overwintered spinach’s fresh sweet leaves.
But what about when it’s February and you’re only half-way through a winter of trying to eat locally and seasonally? It can look grim. Now is the winter of our discontent.
It can be hard these days to find food you can trust.
We are all looking for food that will best nourish our bodies while least harming the environment. Food that hasn’t been sitting on a truck for days on end while its nutrients diminish to nothing.
We had the same difficulty finding the delicious fresh vegetables that we grew up eating, so we started growing our own.

We have 30 years of veggie growing experience and it has been our pleasure to provide fresh veg to our community for the past 8 years.
2023 may see us pivoting towards completing long term projects on the farm and away from the constant vigilance required by annual vegetable production. We’ll see what this winter brings as we map out our plans.
