It is finally feeling like summer to me now that we are eating tomatoes and cucumbers. The cucumbers grow so fast, as do the zucchini, which we have lots of. We’ll be setting up at the Abbotsford Farm and Country Market this Saturday!

We’re not able to make it to the @newwestfarmers today due to being under the weather. We’ll take some rest like this bee in our daughter’s dahlias.My social media posting has stalled out but we've been active here at the farm - bringing in garlic and onions, planting, hoeing, harvesting and keeping track of what's working and what's not.Our garlic scapes season is here! The window is short for these, so don’t delay. Will have them @newwestfarmers today and @abbotsfordfarmandcountrymarket on Saturday. Check out our garlic scape pesto recipe on the eat page at www.abundantacre.com. Freezes well so you can enjoy the pesto all winter long! Check out our stories for more ideas on how to use this early summer specialty item.Beet you to the market today! These particular beets will be coming to the New West market today along with our lovely Salanova lettuce, broccolini and lots more! Andy's been busy planting winter squash this week, as well as hot peppers and training up tomatoes in our second high tunnel. We're in week 2 of our CSA and our weekly rhythms are pretty set. Looking forward to seeing you soon!Lots of great food coming out of the field these days including Broccolini. Hope to see you soon @newwestfarmers or @abbotsfordfarmandcountrymarket. We can hook you up with amazing greens - salad mix, Salanova lettuce, kale, bunched beets, spinach, cilantro, kohlrabi, cabbage and lemon balm.I catch my breath every time I go out to harvest when I see the lupine. Perennial beds for the pollinators and colour to enjoy for the farmers!2011-2018 photos
