Annual Review of Prices
 

 
   It just never gets easier on the farm.  But we have chosen to continue providing you the very best quality produce and the most consistent service we can.  To continue doing this we must pay our staff fairly, heat our greenhouses and cool our storage rooms, maintain and replace equipment, purchase and cultivate our specialty seeds, continue feeding our soil with organic matter, keep our van on the road to deliver just what you need every week, and make up for further reductions in Canadian and Ontario agricultural subsidies.
   A 4% overall increase should get us through the coming year.  Thank you for your understanding and generous support.
 

The Roots are in!
 

 
   September, when we began this year’s harvest seems a long time ago.  But steady work by our crew of eight has carried over 80 tons of colour and flavour into our root cellars.  This should be enough volume with enough shelf-life to keep you supplied through next Spring.
Unfortunately many of the interesting new potatoes we had had great hopes for did not perform so well.  Fortunately our Fingerling, Ratte, Roseval, Black Fingerling, Blue, and SP2 Frying potatoes fared much better.
   Carrots grew straight and evenly and became enchantingly sweet when the cool weather finally came.  But more than 35% of the Red Carrots were a loss due to “bolting” to seed.  Our favourite deep Yellow Carrot seed was not available this year so we had to choose a paler variety.  I have been told by our Bulgarian Black Carrot developer that next year’s crop will have their dramatic colour going much deeper into the flesh.
   Beets did well this year in our biologically active soil.  As often happens, the Golden Beets with their exceptionally expensive seed germinated poorly.  Yield of the Candy Cane Beets was down because they failed to size-up due to all the cool and cloudy October weather.  White Beets and Cylinder Beets yielded very well.
   Winter Radishes and Turnips finished unusually early due to the cool October weather.  Jerusalem Artichokes kept us waiting for the first hard frosts which did not come until late November.  The same is true for the beautifully “carved” Crosnes.  The “oyster” flavoured White Salsify and Black Salsify and the “artichoke” flavoured Burdock Root also kept us waiting until December.
   Earlier in the season we completed harvesting our Torpedo Onions (a.k.a. turkey-leg shallots), Cipollini Onions (which became deliciously large), Long White Leeks (with their clean white shafts and tender creamy texture), Japanese Sweet Potatoes (with purple skin and luscious yellow flesh) and Dahlia Root (with an amazing aromatic crunch), and Ontario’s Dr. Music’s Hard-Neck Garlic Bulbs (with their rich flavour and easy-to-peel skin).
