Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 05:51PM Wow, nearly time to get outside and plan the garden and we get 15-20 cm. of snow. Who would have thought that would happen. Well I guess we'll just enjoy it in the greenhouse and keep transplanting those beautiful green seedlings. It sure does not feel like winter in there.
Thursday, January 19, 2017 at 11:10AM Come join the vendors at a Valentine Pop-up Farmers Market on Sunday Feb. 12th. The market will be located in the Rotunda at VIA Rail, 123 Main St., Winnipeg. Buy you Valentine something special for Valentines Day.

Spring is here and we're excited about the new season. Some plants are growing while others are still germinating in the soil. We're in the process of building a high hoop tunnel. Hopefully this will give us the opportunity to get our plants into the ground a few weeks earlier therefore giving our vegetables a jump into summer. Soon friends at the farmers markets will benefit from some fresh locally grown lettuce, kale and other fresh greens.

What a crazy summer. Busy, busy and more busy... but we love it. Between the normal rush of getting produce to market, the new building (which is coming along nicely) and the summer contracts with the tree farm, I don't know what we'd have done without our farmhands. That's them, Xenia and Inessa picking cucumbers for the Lorette and Steinbach markets this week. Can you believe how much fun they're having?!
By the way, tomorrow is customer appreciation day at the Steinbach Farmers Market. Stop by with the whole family and see what your vendors have to offer on this fun filled day! There will be live music, a wandering clown with a talent for balloon animals and face painting, and of course locally grown produce and homemade preserves.

Seems the recent run of hot weather has everyone in the mood for eating fresh. We were nearly cleaned out at both the Lorette and Steinbach markets this week and we're hoping for another great turnout at the Pineridge Hollow Farmers' Market on Saturday too! Most of the crop is coming along nicely and we're offering an expanding variety of produce as it does. This weekend we'll have all your favourite root crops plus green peppers, kale, swiss chard, and green and yellow beans. Tomatoes are just a couple weeks away and i'll keep you posted.
We whipped up this terrific dish just the other day. I need to share it with you...
Gingered Carrots and Onions
1 lb. carrots
2 Tbsp butter
¼ cup chopped onion
2 Tbsp. finely grated fresh ginger
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
Boil the carrots in salted water until tender crisp. Drain and set aside.
Melt the butter in a pan and add the chopped onion and ginger and gently saute’ until onion is translucent.
Add the brown sugar; stir to dissolve and simmer until well blended. Gently stir in the tender crisp carrots.
Voila!
