With the last of the corn coming off the fields, the dust and insects have been thick in the air. We are still fortunate to have warm sunny days to be outside and find something magical.

This is the last of the garden produce. It's always an enjoyable transition to cool weather when you have a seasonal soup to make with fresh ingredients. Now's the time to get new potatoes before I pack them away.

Butternut Squash- $2.50 (they are smaller so get two if youre making soup)
Autumn frost sqush- $5
Leeks- $5/12
Shallots- $5/12
Potatoes- $5/bag

Fresh raspberries mean it's time for jam. 💕

What a find! This potato was too odd not to share.

It's October and I'm still in the garden. My energy is focused on harvesting- first everything that can get touched by frost. Now everything that needs to be dug before the voles eat their fill.

Nothing goes to waste if I can manage. Any potatoes that have been sampled are used immediately for our meals. These German Butterball potatoes are too good to waste. Slightly yellow flesh, with a butter taste. They taste great every way you cook them- roasted, mashed, fried.

Still to harvest: Chiefton potatoes (red skin), carrots, leeks, squash and Brussel sprouts.

I feel so honored to find a Monarch chrysalis while picking raspberries today. Based on its see through appearance, the butterfly will emerg within the day or so. I'm thankful we were able to provide a safe spot for this to happen. 🦋

I never like seeing food go to waste. As tomato season is coming to an end, I was motivated to find another use for them beyond salsa, sauce and canned tomatoes.

I'm a soup eater and having an easy meal for work seemed like a no brainer; especially when I make bone broth on the regular.

I've canned fresh tomato 🍅 soup made with bone broth, San Marzano and heritage variety tomatoes, onion, garlic, herbs and spices. Next to come, carrot 🥕 soup and Butternut squash soup.

Interested in Tomato Soup?
$15/L

Wanda did a great job bringing nine piglets into a dark, star filled night. Her pregnancy was a delightful surprise as she had been living with W***y, our pure bred Large Black boar, who had been suffering with lameness earlier this year. We were unsure if he could perform his job, apparently he still has some vigor left.

Wanda delivered 10 piglets, the last being stillborn. We camped out with Wanda during her labour and ensured the new arrivals were breathing, dry, on their feet, and nursing before heading to bed. Nine little butts were cuddled beside her this morning. 💕

The end of the garden season is coming and that means tomatoes, onions, peppers and garlic are in full force in the kitchen.

My all purpose tomato sauce includes: san marzano tomatoes, garlic, peppers, a couple Jalapeños (but its not spicy), Spanish onions, carrots, spinach and basil, all grown on the farm. I use it for pasta and pizza sauce.

A favourite roasted black bean and corn salsa is fresh and includes: San Marzano tomatoes, spanish onions, jalapeno, corn, garlic, peppers (all from the farm), as well as, apple c***r vinegar, lime juice, salt, pepper, black beans and cilantro.

My cellar is almost full, so Im taking orders for yours.

Tomato sauce-
$7/500ml
$25/2 L
$70/case (12 × 500ml)

Salsa
$8/500ml
$15/1 L

While we were figuring out the extent of the damage, Wilbur took advantage of the new Waterpark.
