We hope you have had a lovely winter and that, like us, you are looking forward to the transition to milder weather, if not yet outright summer.
We are pleased to announce the start of the growing season and the opening of registrations for our 2025 CSA baskets and
market ‘loyalty’ cards.
We took full advantage of the cold and snowy days of a true Quebec winter to recharge our batteries and update our production plans and IT systems. All we have to do now is wait for the last days of March to fire up our furnaces and start planting our seeds in our seedling greenhouse.
Neighbourhood basket deliveries in Montreal and at the farm are scheduled to begin
on Wednesday, June 11,
while market basket deliveries and issuance of prepaid loyalty cards are expected to start
on Friday, July 4.
The season will run through early November, with our last market day scheduled
for Sunday, November 9 and our last neighourhood drop-offs scheduled for Wednesday-Thursday November 12 and 13.
As always, we will strive to offer you a broad diversity and generous quantities of top-quality
organic vegetables and fruits.
To that end, we have scoured our seed catalogues to seek out new varieties that will be planted in our fields this summer. I am thinking particularly of winter squashes, watermelons, lettuces, and tomatoes. We also want to offer a greater variety of herbs by providing basket subscribers with four to five varieties to choose from every week and by expanding our fine herb offering at the market. Last year’s hot summer was especially favourable for cantaloupes and watermelons, and if the coming summer is as kind, we should be able to offer them for four weeks during August and early September. We are even considering increasing our sweet corn production so you can enjoy it for four to five weeks.
I would like to draw your attention to the return of the organic breads
of our friends at Capitaine Levain.
They are baked the very morning of your delivery*, and we deliver them in the afternoon,fresh out of the oven!*
*Excluding market deliveries, as their baking schedule is incompatible with our market schedules
We hope to see you return in droves
as we launch our 16th season at the farm!
We look forward to seeing you all
in a few months.
