Hi, And suddenly this week, the forecast changed! We went from a couple weeks of cold to temps that could produce sap. I started tapping yesterday. 10% done now. We’ll tap asap now in case we get good sap weather next week. After this weekend we’ll be away from market […]
Hi! Back to the cold again today. Hmmm, this seems familiar. When I woke up this morning Sonny and Cher’s “Babe” was playing on the radio…is this a flash back to other cold mornings this winter or am I doomed to repeat this day again? You have to have seen […]
Hi! It’s great to see the sun back. Now if we could just keep the temperature below zero we’d be having fantastic winter weather. Devyn will be back at market this week for me. I’ll be busy with inventory and prep for serving maple taffy Saturday night at a Hardwood […]

Hi, Looks like we may finally get a killing frost tonight. I can’t believe it’s November and we haven’t had one yet. We are almost done in the field. A few beets and a few thousand pounds of carrots left that we will do next week when it stops raining. […]
Hi, Happy Thanksgiving! I’ll be bringing lots of carrots, garlic, beets and maple products to market. We had a busy week harvesting, washing and bagging everything for this weekend. I’ll be at the Barrie Farmers’ Market Saturday morning, but if you can’t make it there looks for some of our […]
Hi, Back to the cold weather again. Where are my long johns! We had a beautiful double rainbow here right before the rain hit this morning. I’ve attached a picture below. We’ve got our full compliment of product available now….carrots, beets, garlic and maple. Even some juicing carrots available. Don’t […]
