LATEST FROM THE FARM — organic garden

Winter is the time for planning here at the Farm, pouring over seed catalogues and thinking about all that could be - what to grow, learning new techniques, and trialing new and exciting veg. Farmer Jo loves crop planning and the winter is the time to do that.

If you are growing a home garden you are probably starting to bring in harvests, with summer vegetables starting to ripen thick and fast. When the garden is filled with the abundance of high summer it is easy to just sit back and enjoy the harvests, but believe it or not, there is still lots of time to plant seeds in the soil and keep harvesting garden fresh veggies well into the autum

We are now only nine weeks away from the May long weekend, which is the traditional outdoor planting weekend here in Ottawa. Even though it’s still too early to get gardening outside, there are lots of garden tasks that you can begin inside right now to set your garden up for great success this season!

We’re now your one-stop-shop for all things organic gardening. Frost protection, insect netting, and high quality organic soils, compost, and fertilisers are now all available in the online store. All are products we personally use at the Farm and are approved for use in organic farming.
