Smokey
We are very sad to announce that Smokey our beloved grey tabby cat, passed away this winter. Smokey will be remembered as a very friendly, handsome and laid back boy – nothing bothered him, from babies, kids, kittens, cats and dogs. He spent an idyllic 17 years with us, loving being outdoors as much as the sofa. One of his favourite things to do… Read More

Farm Tours and Planting Demo
Dazzling Damsels Earlier this week, we hosted a visit from the Dazzling Damsels – the Red Hat Ladies group from the Bradford area. This visit was a little different from the typical tours that we run. The ladies had asked if I could do a demo on how to put together a planter. So with input from the group, I walked them through the… Read More
Shop local
A few reasons to shop locally (with us!) Local economic stimulus When you purchase at locally owned businesses rather than nationally owned ones, more money is kept in the community since locally owned businesses often purchase from other local businesses. Here at the farm, we use local companies for much of our plant material, as well as printing, web design, t shirts, furnace maintenance,… Read More
Introducing our 2017 TEAM
We grow AND sell! We are very proud of our staff. They start work in February, literally digging their way into the greenhouses some days! They spend weeks mixing soil, filling pots, planting, watering, tagging, fertilizing, trimming and nurturing our crops, then all of a sudden at the end of April, it’s time to switch to retail mode and start selling! This is something… Read More
