So all the things we grow…. Lets start with the fruits. Apples, peaches, plums, pears, sweet cherries, nectarines, strawberries, and raspberries.

Now for the veggies. Potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, peas, lettuce, radishes, squash, beets, pumpkins, and sweet corn. I think that’s it. Of course there are different varieties grown of most of these fruits and vegetables.

The Apples…Honestly before meeting Spencer, I only knew of the few varieties of apples we stocked at Farm Boy, the grocery store I had worked at back home in Ottawa. Little did I know. Just sitting here making a list I can think of 20 varieties that we grow, and I will probably think of the one’s I’m forgetting later.

There are the “go to” apples everyone knows like MacIntosh and Red Delicious, and newer varieties that people are starting to recognize and love like Honey Crisp and Ambrosia. I myself have always liked the deep red colour, crispness, and sweetness of Red Delicious, but these Ambrosias are swaying me for sure.

I love that we grow so many things. There is a window of time in the season, (which will be coming soon) that I can go into the cold storage in our barn and “shop” for most of our weekly produce. You can’t get more local than that. Speaking of… time to go try the strawberries just in from the field.
