With late summer in full swing, the count down till the first snow begins.  Veggies galore now, the best time of the year, really. Everything ripens to their seasonal best and with the nights cooling down a bit as well, plants get some rest at night and get to bring out their best.

Our veggie boxes are loaded now with all the fruits of the field. All grown for their right season and not artificially created in green houses. Some very tasty melons and watermelons coming up too.  We got some seed for the French Charentais melons, and we grew a bunch. Apparently the tastiest melon on the planet, but who are we to decide. But we will add it to your veggie box so you can decide.
Let us know as well, we like to hear you feedback.

Our broccoli has grown to gigantic proportions this year. This specimen weighs 1085 grams! Saturday and Sunday we will be bringing lots of these monsters to the farmers market next to Hokkaido jingu in Sapporo. Better wake up early as the market starts at 06.30 in the morning.

From flower to harvest.
We are counting down the days until we van pick the seasons first fruit.

We grow these strawberries for their taste, not for their size. It’s not size that matters after all. Deep red all the way through and juicy, the way they should be.

garlic.

 

A member of the onion family, garlic does well in cold climates and Hokkaido is ideal for growing it.
We have gathered some Hokkaido varieties and are working on a large enough supply. Sometimes this takes a few years. This year somewhere early August will harvest our first garlic for sale as well.
If you like it, just plant some separate cloves in september and dig them up again the next year in summer.

These little tomatoes were our favourites this year. The ultimate healthy snack. Always looking for some new varieties to grow, these flavour bombs will surely return next year.
