March of the Tomatoes
At Cookstown Greens our tomatoes are the first, and one of the most exciting vegetables to get our attention this year. My mouth is watering just thinking about them! If Mother Nature is kind to us, we’ll get to taste these juicy treats mid-July.
Does a perfect looking vegetable mean it's better?
At Cookstown Greens we take great pride in the quality and flavour of our vegetables, which come from our healthy and nutrient-rich clay loam soil.
It's OK to Share Your Greens With Bugs!
Unless we spray harmful pesticides on our vegetables is it impossible to ensure that all crops will be bug bite free. And frankly, I’m ok sharing my greens with the bugs, considering the alternative.
The Flavour Comes From Our Soil
Vegetables get their flavour from genetic DNA, sugars and minerals produced with the help of the sun and from the nutrients they obtain from the soil.
Cookstown Greens Growing Season
The growing season is short in Ontario and some vegetables come and go in a flash. At Cookstown Greens we grow seasonal produce year-round in our greenhouses and fields.
Keeping the Bad Bugs Away
It takes a lot of extra time, labour and materials in order to keep the bugs away using organic methods. But organic farmers know it's worth it to contribute to a healthy ecosystem and healthier food options.
Edible Weeds
Despite its persistent growth, the dandelion's blossom, as well as its leaves and root can be used for a variety of culinary purposes. And it's not the only weed you can eat!
