Please note: Park at the side of the road if you are towing a trailer or camper - there is no way to turn around in the driveway.
Turn into the driveway, and park in the grassed parking bay to your left. The store is self serve. Open the doors and peruse the produce on the shelves.
Change provided in the black cash box.
Check off purchased items on the page provided (next to the cash box).
Close and latch the doors behind you when finished to keep the food safe from critters.
I try to keep this page updated but there is plenty to do here...Please note, it is a challenge to keep the produce cool in the summer, so some crops may start to wilt and or go soft sooner than you might otherwise expect. We recommend you purchase food very soon before consuming.

On the menu:
Cured and ready to prepare. Quite flavourful compared to other squashes, with a creamy texture ideal for soups and stews. 2 to 4 months shelf life, though check frequently after two months.
Kidney Beans: $2.00 1 Lb bag. Each pound of unshcucked beans yields an average of 3/4 Lbs o dry beans. The flavour of the beans are noticeably better than commercial dry or canned beans. See the kidney beans entry on the "our crops" page.
Turnips: $3.00 / Lb. Havested so young, can be eaten raw or cooked without peeling.
$3.00 / Lb.

Kidney Beans: $2.00 1 Lb bag. Each pound of unshcucked beans yields an average of 3/4 Lbs o dry beans. The flavour of the beans are noticeably better than commercial dry or canned beans. See the kidney beans entry on the "our crops" page.
Red French Fingerlings: $3.00 / Lb. Best tasting potato according to chefs. Red skin, yellow flesh shot with red. Best for roasting or baking (we have not tried boiling them). Sliced four ways, these make unforgettable home fries.
Some of our fingerlings have a small amount of light green blush, due to growing so big (even for fingerlings) that they pushed themselves out of the ground. I've checked these and most that most only require a small paring to remove the green part. I add a few ounces per pound to reflect this.
All of our potatoes have very thin skin - don't bother peeling them before using.
Turnips: $3.00 / Lb. Havested so young, can be eaten raw or cooked without peeling. White and yellow Carrots: $2.00 / Lb. Large cooking carrots, these will keep well.
Parsnips: $3.00 / Lb. Sold out
To keep produce fresh, we only keep a limited amount of stock in the store.
