SWEET CORN IS HERE!!!!!!!!

It is Awesome in name and flavour. Awesome is a gourmet sweet, peaches and cream corn that is a nice combination of sweetness and corn flavour. With proper refridgeration it should stay sweet for a few days. For optimal flavour it is still best to only get what you can eat that day. Currently the corn is from Tillsonburg (southwest Ontario) and as the season progresses in a couple of weeks it will be from our area. PEACHES should also be headlined. With the hot weather I am finding they are sweeeeeeter than usual. This is turning out to be a very sweet posting. I love this time of year for eating as there is a nice selection of berries (yes we still have a few raspberries, don't delay) and tree fruits such as peaches and plums, nectarines and apricots should be in soon. The potatoes are sweet, the carrots, FIELD TOMATOES HAVE STARTED,and they're sweet. The list goes on. Pick your own beans from the field here in Markham, looks like some peas may be ready in the field soon. OUR SPRING BLOSSOM HONEY IS ARRIVING TODAY. Eagerly anticipated and not to be missed the first harvest of the season from our bee hives is coming into the market today. Relish the season - There is an abundance of cucumbers and zucchinis from our fields right now and NOW is the time to make your relish. Don't wait till you feel like it because these crops are fickle and may not be available when you want them. ACT NOW and you'll be glad this winter as you enjoy the taste of the summer harvest in a jar. With the cooler weather here for a few days come on out to the farm. ENJOY THE SWEETNESS OF SUMMER AND THE FUN. Who knows how long before the next heat alert.

Corn Maze is Opening

Labour Day weekend is always a special time - school will start right after it, holidays seem to be over and most everyone gets back into their fall routine. We make it a fun time here on the farm -
Our 2 acre Corn Maze opens officially this Saturday, come and get lost. The Enchanted Forest reopens, all our storybook characters have returned.

Introducing Pi - our new miniature horse.
She arrived Thursday Sept 1st and is looking forward to meeting everyone. You will find her in the pen right next to the cattle - Mud and Toots. Pi is approx. 2 years old and comes from Southwestern Ontario. Her owner was sad to part with her but happy she will be in a new home with lot's of new friends.
We ask that you not feed Pi any treats, horses have top front teeth and could bite. We will work on getting her used to us and possibly try having a regular morning time for her grooming. Once she has settled into the farm our farm hands and educators may have you help with the grooming.

Come on out for a visit soon. We're open Labour Day Monday with all the full weekend activities (weather permitting). It is a great way to end the summer. You can even stock up on some yummy lunchtime goodies. Paula Red and Gala apples are now available fresh picked. The sweet corn is still delicious - get some before it's gone.
