DON'T DELAY
Now is the time to pick strawberries at our Greenbank farm. There are so many berries they are almost jumping into the baskets.
June has been very wet so far but the weather reports are looking up with cooler, dryer weather forcasted for this week. The berries are sweet because of the heat and ripening quicker than usual.
Our late berries are starting to ripen which means approximately one more week of pick your own. We'll have fresh picked berries at our Markham farm for a while longer than our pick your own season.
Don't be disappointed!!! Pick this week.
OPEN THURSDAY JULY 1st at our Markham farm for fun and pick your own peas and at Greenbank for pick your own strawberries.

Celebrate Fathers this Sunday
Father's Day Sunday June 20th
What a better gift to give than time spent together with Dad. We'll be celebrating Dads this Sunday by offering free admission to fathers of all ages when accompanied by their kids. The weather sounds like it is going to co-operate and give us a beautiful day.
We'll have pick your own sweet peas available this weekend and fresh picked strawberries are in our market. YUM!
Bumper Crop of Strawberries at our Greenbank Farm
Our strawberry crop is in full swing right now. They taste great and supply is good. Don't delay. The season is earlier this year and could end earlier. It may not extend too far into July so I wouldn't wait until the kids are out of school to come picking.
Strawberry pick your own is available at our farm in Greenbank only along with fresh picked berries. Large orders can be filled. Call 905-985-6749 for a crop report and hours open.
Fresh picked strawberries from our Greenbank farm are in our Markham market daily, weather permitting.

Baby Pictures
Sorry - forgot to post our baby picture. He's a thirsty one.
Check our website soon for our video on this years sheep shearing.
It's been a busy month
Strawberry Update
Who would have thought we'd have heat alerts in May after such a cold start to the month. This heat is bringing on the crops FAST. Peas will be early - they are already in pod and the strawberries will be ready sometime around the middle of June. Check the crop report beginning June 10th by phoning our market at 905-887-1087 or our Greenbank Farm at 905-985-6749 for up to date info on the berry and pea crops.
4 New Lambs
We've had 4 new moms this month. Ewenice had only a single lamb this year. She's the veteran among the May moms. All the other moms are first timers and their lambs are doing well. We now have out extra sheep pen beside Mud and Toots pasture pen complete and moved in our new mom and baby. Come on by to say hi.
Rhubarb
We can't end this blog without mentioning the first fruit of summer. Well, it is a stem really. Some people love and we do have it available on a limited basis. Once the strawberries begin we will try to have it on a consistent basis in our market.

The Farm is now open
The animals are here, the school tours have started, the peas are 4"high and it feels like summer.
We've had 2 new kids born just in time for opening Saturday. They're doing well.
ASPARAGUS IS HERE
With this warm weather Ontario asparagus is available. We've also got huge greenhouse tomatoes, cucumbers and sweet potatoes. More selection will be here as the season progresses.
CHEESE LOVERS ALERT
New this year we will have Celebrity goat cheese,(produced in Lindsay, Ont.) and Black River Cheese (produced in Prince Edward County) joining our selection from Maple Dale Cheese. Black River Cheddar uses vegetable based rennet to make their cheese, not animal based.
Check out our cooler for this enhanced selection.

Saturday May 1st is the day
We're opening for the season this Saturday. The farm is looking good and green thanks to all this warm weather. The animals are awaiting your arrival.
We've got new lambs (Ewenice will be giving us more near the end of the month) and kids. The chicks are here, some are already 3 weeks old.
CHECK OUT THE CHICKENS
We have an incubator this year and if all goes well should have some chicks hatching next week. It is always a gamble but if we succeed I'll take some pictures as the chicks hatch and post them. (There will be a time delay as I'm not great with technology.)
Sheep Shearing
Speaking of technology, I took a video of our sheep being sheared. I currently have connections with a film grad student who is cleaning it up and editing so you can actually hear me telling you what is happening. Be on the lookout. I'll be posting it as soon as it is ready.
The strawberries and peas are doing well and may be early this year. We'll keep you posted.
See you soon
