the abundance

My sister Aimee was out and took the zucchini and tomato pictures for us. Andy took the others.

Andy has been busy planting fall and winter crops – spinach and asian greens. We are thinning the beets and people really got excited about them at the Farmer’s Market today.

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!

I found a new dressing recipe that I wanted to pass on - it's been taste tested by family and we like it! I had dried some tarragon last fall, so I used that. We have our lovely Red Russian and Siberian (naturally more tender varieties of kale) kale available right now, so that was the base of the salad. I didn't have shallots so used green onions in the dressing and I thought it tasted really nice. The salad was pretty simple with some shredded carrots, feta, raisins and thin almonds along with the finely chopped kale (no massaging necessary!).

Earlier this week, putting poly on the high tunnel.

Evening walk-around a couple nights ago. Our first carrots are under the tunnels. We have hoed them twice, and hand-weeded them once before they go under the tunnels to exclude carrot rust fly larvae.
