Oh my!
I've been so busy that I completely forgot to publish a new blog yesterday!

A day late, but better late, than never!

So I have a few updates for you all.
Sold Out : Blueberries, Raspberries, Cucumbers, Sunflowers

Coming by Labour Day Weekend!:
Buttercup Squash, Japanese Kabocha Green Squash, Japanese Kabocha Orange Squash, Japanese Daikon Radish, Tomatoes, Bronco Cabbage, Japanese Cabbage and many, many, many Pumpkins of all sizes and shapes!   I'm ready for Fall Decorating already, so you may as well be too! :)

In the past week I have done some more canning and pickling:  Pickled Beets, Hot Spicy Relish, and Pickled Hot Peppers! Yikes!

Tonight, I am spending the evening, peeling Garlic - it smells awesome in my house right now!  I will pickling garlic hopefully by Thursday, so it will be ready for sale next week!

I want to thank those of you that are telling people about my little stand - it's getting busier all the time, and it's very exciting for me!  

My father-in-law and I are still working on renovating the barn, when we have a little spare time, and it's really starting to come together.  There's stuff in that barn that is over 50 years old, and we're still discovering things every week - it's fun to find implements that Colin's grandfather used on this farm - Yes, we're the third generation to farm here!  The farm was purchased by Colin's Grandfather in 1952.  It's an amazing legacy, and I'm proud to be farming it along with my father-in-law!  Look for a new 'item' coming soon to the farm - you'll notice it when you drive into the driveway by the Stand - soon!

I need to get back to my peeling garlic, so talk to you soon!
