We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that a small part of Strattons Farm may have been on your table over the weekend!
We did our annual Thanksgiving walk around our farm with Louie this year and got to take in the amazing Fall colours.
By the end of this week we will have sent out registration forms for the November CSA. I am hoping that it will be a google document this year rather than a paper one but this will depend if I have time to create it. This years November CSA will be smaller than last year so we thank everyone who registered their interest early.
The main news at the farm is that our Market Garden is now Certified Organic. We thought it about time we walked the talk and got our certification. I have to say a huge thank you to McFadden Acres who have been a huge support to me through this process. We decided to do our certification as in Ontario you can say you are Organic without actually complying to the Canadian Organic Standards. We felt it only right that we should go through the process (and make it official, even though we have followed the standards for many years) so that our CSA member families know that our Market Garden complies to these standards.
Kale
Leeks - Sizzle and spice leek and chickpeas
Carrots- We are doing bags of carrots again this week.
