NANOOSE EDIBLES FARM –

CELEBRATING OVER 26 YEARS SERVING THE REGION WITH FRESH, NUTRITIOUS, ORGANIC PRODUCE

Newsletter January 2014

Winter Market Hours:

Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 10.00am - 3.30pm (about dusk)

If you have been to the farm in the last while you might have seen Caleb and his family who are living at the farm. We welcome Caleb’s family and the wealth of knowledge that Caleb brings to the farm.

The farm has been busy cleaning seeds from 2013 which we will be selling at Seedy Saturday on Feb 1 in Qualicum Beach. http://www.qbseedysaturday.com/  Be sure to look for Barb and Caleb at the booth and say hello.  We will have transplants, seeds, and signup sheets for volunteers, u-pick, and pickers for the farm. We will have more seeds available at Sugar Shack seeds who will be cleaning our Certified Organic Seeds. Check out the sugar shack seeds at Seedy Saturday or www.sugarshackseeds.com for locally grown seed. Grown as Mother Nature intended, all open-pollinated seed, untreated, non-GMO, a lot of heirloom varieties. 

Our transplants are coming along and we will have suitable transplants at the beginning of each month.  This month we have parsley, dill, arugula, fennel, lettuce, cilantro and strawberry transplants. We will have some at Seedy Saturday and the Qualicum Beach farmers market on Feb 1 but will likely go fast.  If you would like to purchase transplants from the farm please email Barb neorg@telus.net

The farm is excited to have the International Organic Inspectors Association come to our farm in February do a mock training exercise for Certified Organic Crops.  

The farm is going digital! We have launched a Youtube channel and will be updating it often with farming information. Please subscribe J http://www.youtube.com/user/nanooseediblesfarm

Next month we will be moving the newsletter to a service for newsletters called Mailchimp to make the newsletter easier to manage.  We will be importing the email addresses over and will send out a reminder closer to next month to make sure it doesn’t go to your junk mail.
