Pick your own Strawberries and Peas at Greenbank Farm

Our Greenbank Farm is now open for pick your own and fresh picked strawberries and sweet peas.  The cold, wet weather has delayed the season but this heat wave is bringing them on.  Come soon to get the best of the crop.

Our strawberry crop is not up to what last years was.  There were lots of blossoms but not as much fruit as there should be.  May have been one of those last frosts of the seasons that did the damage.    This will relate into a shorter picking season so don't delay.  Next years new plantings are looking fabulous, as farmers we are always looking to the future.

Whenever farmer Jim wants to feel good he checks his sweet pea crop.  This spring has been perfect for them and have we got a crop of peas.  They will be available for pick your own in Greenbank now and shortly in Markham.

Strawberries- The sweet taste of summer

Long anticipated, a little late to arrive - strawberries are here!!!

We have fresh picked Ontario strawberries available in our Markham Farm Market now.  They took their time - the cooler, wetter weather causing the delay.  The berries are looking good and are consistently more plentiful although I would  recommend jam makers waiting a week till we have enough to sell by flats at a decent price.
New this year is vanilla pound cake - just what you need to enjoy a light berry dessert.

Our pick your own at our Greenbank Farm will be sometime next week.  We will keep you posted.  Our pea crop looks fantastic and we should have a good supply in a few days.  We will have pick your own peas in Greenbank along with the strawberries.

Strawberries are not the only Ontario grown produce to begin - the new crop of potatoes is now in our market along with lettuce, spinach, and garlic mmm.....

Eating from Ontario grown just keeps getting better.  Keep watch for more fruits and vegetables to come.

Fathers Day Sunday June 17th- Dads are Free

Fathers are special.  Sometimes taken for granted, not always thanked.  Sunday is a good day to pause, take time to let Dad know he is loved and appreciated, before it is too late.

This week we are mourning the loss of Jim's Dad who died peacefully and suddenly Monday at the great age of 94.  Long time customers will remember him helping out about the farm - BBQing hot dogs in the fall, selling Christmas trees, polishing apples at the Markham Fair.  He was always a source of support for us and we will miss him dearly.

Take time this week to connect with your Dad, tell him at least one thing you appreciate about him.  An investment in family time pays huge dividends.
