What we Grew In 2010
This is the answer to the question I get most often. I've listed most of what we grew though I did not include things we made from our farm, (pickles, preserved and dried food, catsup, etc) and I left off several trial projects. The rest is presented here so you can get an idea of what we grow and sell and where we find seeds. The research in seed sourcing is a pleasure, but it is time consuming. We source as much as we can from Vesey's seeds in York, PEI. They Have US and Canadian catalogs available for gardeners and growers. I encourage you to start a garden and try these varieties yourself. If you've got an idea for a trial growing project or a seed source to share...please let us know!

We grew a large variety in small quantities this year. Most of our work is done by hand in our large market garden. The seed we buy is premium quality carefully sourced from organic and heritage heirloom growers at considerable expense - all so that we may support organic seed growers and provide you with an exceptional product.
We serve our local neighbors and we welcome you to visit our farm. Wherever you may be, you are welcome to share your thoughtful comments and suggestions on the blog.
JQ's Thought For Today:
Maybe we should get over the idea that little boys are the same as little girls with a behavioral disorder.
