Your organic farm in the Eastern Townships
It’s official, we’ve launched our 2014 season at Arlington Gardens! If you’re anything like us, we assume you’re chomping at the bit and eager to partake in another year of farm bounty. Although we like winter, there comes a time in February when our organic clock starts ticking and moves us to action, i.e. to…
As we prepare for the upcoming season, Arlington Gardens offers you its New Year Greetings. We wish you health and happiness in 2014. Enjoy the winter season – we look forward to seeing you again in early summer.
À l’orée d’une nouvelle saison, Les Jardins d’Arlington vous souhaitent une année 2014 pleine de santé et de bonnes choses. Passez un bel hiver et au plaisir de se retrouver cet été.
Yet another season at the farm has come to an end. We enjoyed sharing nature’s bounties with you in 2013. We look forward to a respite, punctuated by the usual winter activities, and we promise to let you know as soon as we see the first signs of spring. Meanwhile, we wish you all a…
La saison 2013 est bel et bien finie! Il nous a fait grand plaisir de partager avec vous les bontés de la nature et de nos jardins.

We harvested carrots, sowed green manure, spread manure of the other kind for next year and watched our rutabagas grow. Our baskets this week include Brussels…
It’s always when you least expect it that it happens: the brief heat spell we’ve been enjoying is exactly what the vegetable doctor ordered for our rutabagas, our turnips and our lettuce. The weather has indeed been spectacular – the only thing missing is a light rain, just enough to irrigate everything nicely. But…
On ne s’y attendait pas mais cette petite poussée de chaleur des derniers jours va permettre à quelques légumes retardataires de se refaire une santé, en particulier les rutabagas, les navets et les laitues. Il fait un temps superbe auquel il manque tout de même quelques gouttes d’eau pour rafraîchir les dernières plates-bandes légumières. …
Notes from September 23: The countryside is humming again: farmers are greasing their tractors and sharpening their blades. The summer was a good one in our neck of the woods, so to speak, and producers are looking forward to a bountiful end of season, beginning with the year’s third haying, a contemporaneous soy harvest and, last…
