Veg Spotlight: KOHLRABI

If you haven’t tried kohlrabi yet, let this be the week. It’s wildly underrated and one of our farm favourites.

This alien-looking veggie is super crisp, mildly sweet, and tastes like the love child of broccoli stems and apples. It’s incredible raw – think slaws, veggie platters, or sprinkled with lime and chili salt. Or try it roasted, stir-fried, or even mashed.

How to prepare:
– Trim off the leaves and peel the outer layer (it can be a bit tough).
– Slice into rounds or matchsticks for raw eating, or cube it for cooking.
Simple Kohlrabi Slaw:
1 large kohlrabi, peeled and grated
1 carrot, grated
1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chopped parsley, a pinch of cumin, or a dollop of plain yogurt

Mix together and let sit for 10–15 minutes for the flavours to meld. Great on tacos, sandwiches, or as a crunchy summer side.

This week’s spotlight is on something extra sweet: raw, unfiltered, and unpasteurised honey from our friends at The Barking Bee Company!

Fun fact: the honeybees who made it live right here on the farm. These little legends have been busy turning local blooms into golden, floral magic, and now it’s yours to enjoy.

🚧 Heads Up: Carling Construction – But We’re Still OPEN! 🚜🌱

From July 18–27, parts of Carling Ave near our entrance will be undergoing construction - they’re removing the old CN Rail bridge and upgrading the road (yay!)

BUT don’t worry, BeetBox is still open and easy to access! Local traffic (that’s you!) can still reach the farm, and we’d love to see you. It might be a little quieter around here, so your visit means even more during this time 💚

Farm Store Hours:
🕑 Friday: 2–6pm
🌞 Saturday: 10am-2pm

Come by for fresh veggies, good vibes, and a peaceful farm visit!

Looking for BeetBox Farm?

We can be a little tricky to spot at first 👀 Our entrance is easy to miss, but that’s part of the charm! We're tucked right in the city, but a short drive down our lane will make you feel like you’ve escaped to the countryside 🌅

You’ll find the BeetBox Farm and farm store at 230 Davidson Side Road, just off Carling Avenue. Take the Moodie Drive exit, head north, then turn west onto Carling. Keep an eye out for our big orange signs just past the NCC parking lot 🧡

We're a little hidden gem that feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet were only minutes from Kanata, Bayshore, and Crystal Bay. We love being able to share this little oasis with you!

We're open today, and every Saturday, from 10-2 and we can't wait to welcome you to our little slice of heaven!
