We’ve been quietly busy…
But now we’re back, epistolarily speaking.
Indeed, we’ve been far from idle, particularly in our seedling greenhouse. Leeks and onions are already out on hardening tables, along with kale, Swiss chard, and the first brassicas.
That said, we wonder what May has in store for us.
April was chilly, and the first days of May aren’t looking to be any warmer. Your market farmer, always on the lookout for optimal conditions to start working in the fields, wonders if Mother Nature will offer us the necessary opening, a span of at least four warm, sunny and windy, even, days, to dry the soil and allow us to haul out our tractors and field implements and deploy them in the fields. The laws of probability are affirmative, but nowadays with climate change, all bets are off…our fingers are crossed.
We remind you that the season for our neighbourhood basket deliveries (in Montreal West, Town of Mount-Royal, Westmount and at the farm) will begin on June 12th,
while market baskets (and loyalty cards) will launch on July 5th at Atwater and Jean-Talon.
You have until early June to sign up, but there’s nothing preventing you from doing so earlier 😉. Please don’t hesitate to encourage family, friends, and colleagues to try the experience for a season – our 15th, something worth celebrating!
As indicated in our previous email, we have made some adjustments to the composition of our baskets
by increasing the fruit portion with more melons and cantaloupes, and introducing a greater diversity in leafy vegetables (arugula, chicory, endives, etc.) along with a relative decrease in the quantities of winter squash.
And our friends at Capitaine Levain will be back with their delicious organic sourdough bread.
We invite you to register with them or to contact them directly if you need more information about their offer.
See our sign-up page to register.
We look forward to seeing you all again.
