Hardneck Garlic
Getting to grow and eat my very own garlic is possibly one of my favourite things about farming. Stock up on your winter storage of eating garlic, or buy garlic to plant yourself this fall!
I grow two types of hardneck garlic:
Music (Porcelain): very large cloves, excellent storage life, strong flavour
Red Russian (Rocambole): beautiful red cloves, complex flavour
Recommended storage conditions: cool, dry, dark and ventilated.
Planting your own garlic: Seed garlic is essentially the cloves of normal eating garlic. In late fall, separate out your garlic cloves and plant 6″ apart, pointed end up. Mulching the beds with compost or straw can buffer against frost heave and fluctuating temperatures.

CSA
The CSA program is on hiatus for 2026. Check back in 2027 (:
Every week, pick up a share of seasonal, freshly harvested produce grown on our farm. My aim is to provide you access to high quality food grown with flavour and freshness in mind. Each share consists of familiar staple vegetables as well as new and interesting varieties that you might not find in most supermarkets.
Your shares will reflect the seasonality of food grown in Southern Ontario, from cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes in the heat of the summer, to hearty root vegetables, frost-sweetened greens from the polytunnel, and winter squash in the fall.
Your shares will be large – enough for a household of four that enjoys their vegetables. That being said, I have also had couples and individuals in the past that have enthusiastically polished off their weekly shares! If the quantity or the price worries you, I recommend splitting a share with family or friends.
Also available: SMALL shares! These are smaller shares that are great for one person or a couple looking to supplement their diet with seasonal vegetables.

If you would like to contribute by adding more subsidized spots, consider signing up for an “inflated” CSA (+20%). I will only use your contribution if there is a need for subsidized CSAs, otherwise, the 20% will be refunded to you.
