This week in the online store we have our first pints of green bush beans available, as well as a new to us herb, Holy Basil (Tulsi). We also have the first mixed flower bouquets of the season available, this week featuring snapdragons. Jesse's Mom Joan grows the flowers on our farm, and has lots of variety on the go! This week we again have a good supply of sweet broccoli, and our first try at broccolini will be ready next week as well as our next planting of cauliflower. We have a fresh succession of snap and shelling peas ready this week, though the raccoons have just discovered their very favourite nighttime snack, the shelling peas, so we only get what they cannot reach from here on out. (Another win for trellising!) We have a huge flush of sweet bell and long peppers again this week from the greenhouse, and the very first of the jalapenos are ready in the hoophouse. As well as an insane amount of tomatoes, so bulk quantities are up for grabs if you want to make your own Heritage soup.

New in the online store this week we have fresh garlic, red cabbage, and summer savoury available. We also have a new planting of orange and rainbow carrots, and a fresh planting of broccoli, less funny looking this time. We will also have a huge amount of tomatoes ripening this week with the heatwave expected, so this is a good time to have an extra tomato salad, and enjoy them any way you can. Lots of sweet peppers are ripening in the greenhouse this week, though they are a bit smaller than we like them this year so I have reduced the price a bit.

New this week in the online store we have lots of broccoli, and some more cauliflower available. More heritage and red beefsteak and cherry tomatoes, our first shelling peas, and loads more sugar snap peas as our second succession comes on, and a few more peppers and zucchini available as well. Other things available include carrots, beets, radishes, hakurei, pac choi, cucumbers, fresh kohlrabi, kale, green onion, eggplant, arugula, spinach, spicy mix, salad mix, mini red & green lettuce, romaine, butterhead, rhubarb, chard, flat and curly parsley, cilantro, dill, lemon balm, chives, basil, and oregano.

Cherry tomatoes and snap peas are here this week, and as of now, are already sold out. We also have the first of the sweet long red peppers, a few baby cauliflower, hakurei turnip bunches, and flat and curly parsley joining the harvest list. And again more long and Italian eggplant, carrot bunches, a fresh bed of cucumber variety, butterhead, romaine, red and green mini heads, red and mixed colour beet, red radish, rhubarb, asparagus, green onion, salad mix, spinach, arugula, baby kale, spicy mix, curly and toscano kale, kohlrabi bunches, chives, lemon balm, dill, cilantro, basil, (a bit of mint!), oregano, and thyme available. Fresh herbs are in their prime these days!

NEW in the online store this week we have carrot bunches, baby kohlrabi bunches, new spring Swiss chard bunches, curly and toscano kale, long and Italian eggplant, and some mixed colour beet bunches joining the lovely red beets from the greenhouse. We have Romaine, butterhead and mini red and green head lettuce, red radish, green onion, asparagus, rhubarb, 3 types of cucumber, baby kale, arugula, salad mix, spinach, basil, oregano, cilantro, dill, chives, lemon balm, and lovage.

This week in the online store we have more cucumbers available, as well as another sprinkling of asparagus, and lots of rhubarb. More mini romaine heads, pac choi, green onion, salad mix, spinach, baby kale, arugula, spicy mix, hakurei, basil, thyme, chives, sweet potato, and the last of our storage items. We sold the last of our winter storage carrots last week and we are so happy with the quantity and quality we were able to provide until the very end. Definitely the longest we have had carrots!

This week in the store we have lots of cucumbers joining the list. Slicers, long English and some bright green long ones called margarita are available starting this week. We also have rhubarb bunches, a few of the first asparagus bunches, some red and green mini Romaine head lettuce, lovage and oregano hitting the store this week. We have lots of salad mix, spicy mix, baby kale, arugula and fresh beds of spinach from the field as well as a beautiful bed of pac choi to pick from, along with hakurei, red radish, green onion, carrots, beets, parsnip, rutabaga, celeriac, kohlrabi, sweet potato and shallot.

In the online store this week we have lots of juicy hakurei salad turnips, red round radish, pac choi, some celery, green onion, lots of salad mix, spinach and new plantings of arugula and baby kale from the field, as well as chives, thyme, parsley, basil, carrots, beet, rutabaga, parsnip, celeriac, kohlrabi, sweet potato, shallot and the last of last years' garlic bulbs.

New in the store this week we have some pac choi and hakurei salad turnip bunches from the bed sides in the greenhouse, and some spicy mix coming in hot from the first planting out in the field. We again have red round radish, basil, chives, garlic chives, green onion, celery, parsley, arugula, spinach, chard and lots more salad mix available, and carrot, beet, parsnip, rutabaga, celeriac, kohlrabi, sweet potato and garlic from storage.
