Soap reviews so far

“You need a new formula, it lasts too long. You won’t make any money” From a friend using the Cinna-mint bar daily since March.

“It works so well” neighbours kids who got sent over to buy more soap after they were fighting over whose bar was whose.

“The hand soap is luxurious. I wash my hands A LOT and they are way less drying” that’s the power of lard, goats milk and honey that is in our hand soaps. Ingredients pull moisture to the skin and hydrate.

We’ll have our soaps available at the Farmers Market this year. But get them while they’re available, because I probably won’t be getting around to making more until fall.

Happy pigs and ducks living in the woods by the creek! A peaceful spot to get away from the loud Guinea fowl.

Well the answer to my last video is corn!! 🌽 Popcorn to be more specific. We’re leaving the sweet corn growing to the Guthries. I wanted to plant something nitrogen loving, but off the ground as the compost isn’t fully broken down, it could carry some pathogen risk. Compared to something like lettuce greens that the part you eat is in direct contact with the soil, corn felt like a safe option. I don’t want bare soil becoming all weedy so on one half I also added a cover crop of Sugar Beets (if successful they’ll be for the livestock) and on the other half we did a garden cover mix with 8 different crops in it. It’s honestly all purely experimental but it’s better than sitting bare for the season and if we can continue to improve the soil for next year, even better! Plus who doesn’t love popcorn!

Vegetable subscription sign ups will soon close. This is a great way to guarantee your favourite vegetables every week.

Two options available:
1. We pick what veggies you get each week, offering a variety of classics and some new to you vegetables.
2. You curate what goes in your bag each week. Guaranteeing you get what you love.

Why choose a subscription over shopping week to week at the farmers market? Our subscription customers get first priority. Anything that we have limited amounts of get offered to you before the general public.

If there’s an unfortunate weather event that takes out crops, we will source from other local growers to make sure you are still fed.

Support local, and guarantee yourself fresh veggies!

Ps. Last year we grew over 40 different vegetables and varieties, you won’t get bored of the same 5 vegetables with us!

If things grow as planned we’ll have radishes at the first Virden Farmers’ Market! Were a bit behind seeding due to not wanting to waste seed by planting in cold soil and having subpar germination. But radishes don’t mind some cold weather and if my soil thermometer is correct (I’m having doubts) things were heating up today. Also there may be a drop in carrot germination due to a construction site being built while my back was turned 🤦‍♀️

If you’re a farmer, don’t ever be tricked by the feeling of having things together and figured out.

Was really proud of myself this morning being on the ball. Had seedlings watered, chores done, and fenced in an area to start training the pigs to hot wire. I was about to head to the house and go to town to volunteer at the crude oil cup when I heard grunting.

A new big buckling has arrived. First colostrum is in his tummy and first time mom is bonding with him!

Thanks and for covering my shift!

Oh and I guess I picked up one more thing in Winnipeg…
