Your organic farm in the Eastern Townships
We are happy to announce the launch of the 2013 season at Arlington Gardens. While it was nice to take a break in November, we’re fully rested and raring to go again. We began to gear up in January, placing our seed orders and finalizing our field plan for the year; now February is upon…

Their tight v-formations are amazing, a constant reminder of the impending end of the farming season…Not much has changed in the fields in the past two weeks, except for the cooler, wetter weather. This week…
Nous ne pouvons passer sous silence le départ des oies sauvages vers des contrées plus chaudes. Elles passent au dessus de nos têtes en rangs serrés et nous rappellent que la saison agricole tire à sa fin…Côté champs, les choses n’ont pas beaucoup changé au cours des deux dernières semaines, si ce n’est qu’il fait…

Like our other spring crucifers, our previous crop of turnips suffered the…
