Sunday, May 11, 2014. I was invited to sell some herb and vegetable transplants at the first annual Herb Day at the farm centre in Charlottetown this past Saturday and it was a tonne of fun. Saw so many folks that I knew and met so many great new people, I can't wait till next year.

http://farmfreshveggies.blogspot.com/2014/06/2014-csa-week-1.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2014. 2014 CSA Week #1. The first CSA delivery of the 2014 season happened today. We have a new location this year for weekly pick-up and I'm very pleased with it. No more having to worry about traffic and high winds off the water. Many thanks to the Spring Park United Church for allowing us to use their parking lot for our CSA pick-up location! It's a very busy time on the farm. We still have alot of seeding to get done as well as try and keep up with the weeds! Follow Me On Twitter.

http://farmfreshveggies.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Sure was alot of rain over the weekend! The garden was soaked for a few days but was not too bad to work in today.

Today's grab boxes...
