It's been a fantastic year for our tomatoes; for quality and flavour. Our market is bursting with tomatoes and now is the time to catch the freshness and flavour the summer sun has given them.
So get your canning jars ready. Capture the taste of summer as we move on into the fall harvest season.
Report just in from Farmer Jim -
We have a dandy crop of pumpkins and October will be amazing this year. He's been out in the field checking on them and is very pleased.
Got to love the fall with all its colour. We already have the beauty of the mums to enjoy and the leaves will be turning soon. Our squash is adding even more colour to our courtyard.
Our fall school tour program is gearing up and Myrna is in the office to help you book your tour.

FUN and FOOD defines Labour Day Weekend
Labour Day weekend - The defining weekend between summer and fall when we get back to our regular routines after the summer break.
For us on the farm it means the tomato crop is coming on strong, fresh picked apples have arrived and the bins of squash are coming in filled from the field. Many of the summer crops such as beans and sweet corn are still available, but the farm is definitely taking on the look of fall with the pumpkins ripening in the field and the garden mums giving us colour in our courtyard.
Our ENCHANTED FOREST AND 2 ACRE CORN MAZE ARE NOW OPEN
You've been watching the corn grow all summer, now it is ready for you to enjoy and I don't mean by eating it. Feed corn can be a very tall plant and we use it for our maze because of it's strength and height. Farmer Jim enjoys making the maze as challenging as possible, we make it harder by adding 5 stations for you to find so you can find your fortune with your fingers.
Our Enchanted Forest has changed over the years. The storybook scenes have always fascinated and enchanted you on the walk, now with close to 20 years of growth the forest has taken on an enchantment of its own. There are few things more peaceful than walking in the woods.

It is Starting to Look Like Fall
You just have to love the colours of fall. The vibrant reds, yellows and especially orange. Our pumpkins are looking great this year, there are lots in the field and some are on display.
Our fall mums have just arrived turning our courtyard area into an explosion of colour. Just what we need on a rainy day.
We'll soon have cornstalks, straw bales, pumpkins, gourds and Indian corn available for sale to help your place look great for the fall season. The mums are a good start.
THANKSGIVING IS JUST A MONTH AWAY - IT'S TURKEY TIME!
It's early this year so start your planning now. Our turkeys are thriving and will be fresh, dressed and ready for Thanksgiving dinner, you just need to invite them. Our turkey order book is ready and waiting. We need a 4 pound weight range along with a preferred weight so we can match one of our turkeys to your needs. The usual guideline is 1 to 1 1/2 lbs/ person depending on age, appetite and how many left overs you want.
