Vampires beware! Local, organic garlic in stock from Waldegrave Farm We have two varieties, Red Russian and Rocambole! Cammie grows beautiful garlic that is great for eating through the winter but is also wonderful for using as garlic seed for planting between now and when the snow flies. Garlic is 18.00/lb, a great price for organic seed garlic! Did some comparing this morning, other online options for seed garlic are 28.00+ per lb. Once the rain passes, wishing you all a beautiful autumn weekend! Garlic bed and garlic bread prep and some Halloween decorating for me and the boys this weekend! 🧛‍♂️🧄🍂

I spent some time this week splitting my Yellow Wonder strawberries up and have quite a few potted plugs up at the store for the weekend! A unique, white alpine strawberry - it is everbearing, producing very sweet and tender fruit that have pineapple, cotton candy and citrus flavours depending on ripeness. They clone themselves and form mounds instead of sending out runners so are great for landscaping, potting and small garden spaces. Prolific, delicious and hard to come by in the garden centre. Started from seed a couple of years ago and now I have enough to split and get dozens more plants! $5 each. Plant now or overwinter to plant in spring!

Happy Friday folks! Frankie Mae just dropped off our Friday delivery with fresh sourdough pretzels, pizza dough and yummy breads including jalapeño cheddar and rye this week! I am on my last day of mustard pickle production in the pickle kitchen and nabbed myself a loaf of jalapeño cheddar and a soup from our housemade freezer section! Our soup maker Amber has been hitting it out the park this summer with beans and soups, strata’s and more! I went with the classic cabbage roll soup for lunch today. Happy customer!

The store shelves are beginning to fill back up with this years putting up of the local harvest! Dills, bread and butters, poached plums in vanilla anise syrup, soon the mustard pickle will be back too! A delightfully productive time of the year, I love to roll with the season and contemplate the cozy quiet times to enjoy when it has passed. And to fill the shelves with hand made preserves, using nearly 100% locally grown fruit and veg, including things from my own garden, is a skill I am very proud to be carrying on, fills me with gratitude! For the land, the locals and their beautiful farm grown offerings, for my health and ability to do the work. And many many thanks to my mother in law Brenda, for tutoring me in her many amazing ways of pickling, preserving and garden loving these past 13 years. Anywho! That’s the sappy update from the Earltown preservation kitchen! I’ll see you all in the fall when we’re done(ish) and hopefully the road work is done(ish) then too!
