We're looking forward to some summer weather to give our crops a boost. We've had hints of it this week. Our strawberry crop is coming along - the berries are at the small green stage right now.
We hope to open our Greenbank farm for pick your own berries sometime around June 26th but please call for an exact date and time. 905-887-1087
Ewenice lost one of her male lambs last Wednesday. For some reason she would not allow him to feed and our attempts to keep him nourished failed. She now has twins to raise.
Mud and Toots are now at our Markham farm and loving all the attention. The two calves especially love their bottles of milk. Both are now onto eating hay and greens as well.
School is almost done for the year. Our school tours are winding down but our Summer Fun tours for camps and daycares are booking up. Check out our Summer Fun page if your group would like to visit our farm. Any groups who have the children that are not accompanied by their parents must book a structured tour to visit the farm.
We are currently hiring for market help. We need energetic, hard working individuals that work well with people and have good english communication skills who will be able to commit to part time employment until Oct 31st. Check out our employment page for an application form and come on in for a chat.
When you are in the market check out our butter tarts. They are awesome.

Ewenice has triplets
She gave us four lambs last year, this year it's three - two boys and a girl. Sunday at noon,
Ewenice gave birth to triplets and they are doing fine. We are monitoring them to make sure all are getting enough milk from mom, we may have to bottle feed one. They'll be really cute in a few days, right now they are all legs, their wool feels like popcorn kernels and they spend most of the time sleeping. Ben and Owen were visiting the farm with their families and witnessed the births, thus the two males are named after them and the female will be named Holly. Pictures will be posted soon.
COOL WEATHER IS AFFECTING CROPS
The cool weather is delaying the berry crop. We're starting to get a lot of requests for strawberries. We hope to have some fresh picked strawberries from southwestern Ontario in our market this week. Our own will not be for another two to three weeks. It is best to check in around the 15th of June. Pick your own berries will be at our Greenbank farm only this year.
The pea crop is loving this weather. Sweet peas and sugar snap (honey) peas will be ready near the end of June at our Markham Farm - fresh picked or pick your own. Call 905-887-1087 closer to the end of June for a more exact date.
WE'RE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
Our busy time is coming and we will have some market positions available. Successful applicants (aged 16 years or older) need to be able to commit to working part time for the duration of our busy season which ends after October 31st. Retail experience is not essential but fluency in english, enthusiasm in working with the public and being a good team player is.
We currently have great staff and if you feel you'd like to work hard, learn new things and never be bored fill out an application form found on our website and come on in for an interview.
