FARM NEWS (4 notes)
Life on the farm is pretty wild around here. But its about to get a whole lot wilder as we have our kids with us on farm full-time throughout the summer along with lots of family and friend visits. So please bare with us if we are a little slower getting back to you (or a little later sending our weekly newsletter). We will do our best to try to keep things consistently stocked but we are now balancing more elements on farm with the gardens ramping up and more livestock coming in ... all while we try to get in some summer fun. I'm exhausted just typing about it.
|
We are super excited to be headed down to the Sunshine Bay Community Market again this weekend! Its supposed to be a hot one, so we're going to bring down some rhubarb and mint lemonade that will be available at the concession.
|
Eggs, veggies and more will continue to be stocked in the farm stand for folks to come pickup any time.
|
If we have lots of leftovers after the market, we will be stocking our farm stand on Saturday afternoons with leftover bread, bagels and more. They will be available to pickup into the evening and then will be marked down on Sundays as day-old product. Last week we were all sold out, hopefully with the warm weather and sunshine we will do the same again.

Our address is 655 Ferguson Rd. As you drive down the driveway you will pass some old stables. Just beyond the stables is an open area you can park in. Our Farm Stand Cabin is located on the right (north side). You will need to head down the pathway and continue around to the front of the building and enter the cabin off the front deck.
Friendly reminder, things are still a little rough around the edges. Please bare with us as we refurbish and get our little stand in shape!
|
We love feedback! These Farm Stand Days are our opportunity to try new things and see how they are received and enjoyed (or not) by our community. Please feel free to reach out and let us know what you think of any of the products we have on offer.

Payment is through the honour system. We will have a cash box on the table. If you do not have cash you can e-transfer to emshaking@gmail.com. All proceeds from our sales go back into the farm.
