Market

Hi, It’s been awhile since I emailed you. The transition out of vegetables created a long list to accomplish. Now, I’m starting to get my marketing mojo back! I’ve been updating the Williams Farm FaceBook page and now I’m ready to take on some email updates and the website. Like […]

Wow, The summer is flying by!  Go away for 12 days and suddenly it seems half the summer is gone. I went out west with Suzanne to Vancouver and Victoria for a week.  We visited our youngest son Oliver in Vancouver. He’s taking a summer course at UBC. Lots to […]

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! Winter has settled in here with about a foot of snow in the fields and more to come today.  We’ve still been busy though….bottling syrup and bagging carrots for Christmas orders…and of course clearing snow! The wood pile at the house has started to diminish with this cold weather, […]

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 […]
