New Year, New Greenhouse?

Giving thanks

So the veggies are turning into preserves & filling up the freezer..  you get a call from your favorite turkey producer to let you know it's on the way, and perfectly plump pumpkins are predestined for pie making. Sure with the cool weather it's nice to reflect on the season.. but there is still so much to participate in for the busy foodie!

Next week (Oct. 9 - 16th) is Organic Week throughout Canada. There is an open house at the Rabinowitz Organic Farm on 42 Churchill Road Portugal Cove. Farm will be open for tours on Saturday and Sunday, October 10 & 11th from 1:00 - 5:00. Products will be available at the Farm Store & children welcome!

Also upcoming in our area:
October 13th People's Food Policy, Kitchen Table Talks: Sustainable Fisheries
October 15th Food Security Network hosts World Food Day dinner & a movie
October 17th Slow Food St. John's, Celebration event featuring Preserves @ Yellowbelly
October 22- 24 ACORN-NL Sustainable Farming Conference
October 26-28th Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Agriculture hosts Agriculture Labour Market Symposium

Feels like we're just getting started!

VEGGIE STORAGE TIPS

Here are some ideas to get the most of the season’s bounty by simply storing & freezing your fresh vegetables. If you look through our blog archives there are pickling recipes scattered throughout.

Most of these tips shamelessly copied from my wonderful farm mentor Hilary Moore @ Teamwork Farm in Lanark, ON

Busy Bee Party

Sorry about the lack of posts, folks - we are immersed in harvest time, plus field clean up, sowing cover crop, and hoping our green house doesn't blow away! We are relieved that the hurricane damage was minimal - but last night we got some frost action as well; expect things to wrap up in a cataclysm of squash and tomato bounty.


In that theme - this Sunday we would like to invite you, our CSA members, Farmer's Market customers, as well as children, friends, neighbors, and relatives to the Farm on Sunday, October 3rd.
