What's Happening at the Farm This Month🌷

May on the farm means everything is moving at full swing. It’s a tricky month, due to the cold temperatures we still feel most evenings, and means we are trying to balance transplanting and crop growth with frost protection. We've had some long nights worrying about and working hard to keep everything safe, but it's definitely worth it!

The best part of May is that home deliveries have started, Farmers’ Markets are opening, and our Farm Market (including the Farm Food Truck!) is up and running. After a long winter, it feels so wonderful to connect with all of you in person again!

FROM THE FARM

šŸAn update from our Beekeeper, Nathan:

The bees' springtime is for pollination and growth. They're hard at work in the apples, peaches, and strawberries. As they fill their hive with this food and new bees, they prepare to swarm. They make a new queen, who stays behind with half the bees while the old queen takes the other half to start a new hive. To avoid losing bees this way, we split the hives before they swarm, giving them more space to grow.

šŸ„Black Angus Beef Update:

Our website has been restocked with all of your favourites. We work directly with a local butcher to provide you with fresh and delicious cuts from our very own herd. We recommend stocking up your freezer with steaks for easy summer meals. Click here to order Black Angus Beef for delivery.

Farm Kitchen Update🄧

Our team is back baking daily in our Farm Kitchen! Fruit pies, muffins, savoury pies, focaccia and more are being whipped up daily, and are available for sale via home delivery or here on-farm. We also send a selection of pies to many of our Saturday farmers' markets. If you have a special event you need something delicious for, be sure to reach out and place an order!
