On October 3rd we got treated to the 2nd coldest and earliest frost on record. It didn’t mean much good to our butternut squash that was still ripening in the field,  ready for harvest.
While harvesting the next day these amazing rainbows came out, so hopefully it brings some good luck, or at least some better weather for next season.

The Sapporo Autumn Fest is on again.
Niseko Green Fram is selling organic veggies and hopefully some bbq-ed corn soon when the rains stop.
Come by for some Autumn goodness or a glass of organic wine.

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.

The ultimate summer vegetable. Ufo, pattipan squash, scallopini, this summer squash has many names and it usually raises some eyebrows. Tastes almost like a zucchini and can be used in the same way. Great for stuffing and roasted whole. Wonderful organic tomatoes from Harukichi farm. www.harukichi-farm.com This wonderful vegetable gets the most questions asked. Part of the cabbage family it can be used fresh and cooked in the same way as a daikon or turnips. The taste is more cabbage like, but it is crisp like an apple. Kohlrabi is gaining a lot of popularity recently. Cut in half this Chinese cabbage looks even better. Fresh garlic, recently unearthed. Asahikawa cherries, the ultimate market snack. Must be one of the most loved vegetables out there, best eaten organic.

 

We had some beautiful summer days at the marche at Hokkaido jingu.  Amazing how many people show up at 6 am in the morning for a stroll and a stretch. Driving back and forth  is definitely not good for my rest, but it is a nice place to be and to sell organic veggies.
With some great light coming in through the trees in the early morning it is perfect for taking some veggie shots. Here are some of them.
Thanks to anyone who came and supports!

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.

My parents’ 40th wedding anniversary we celebrated in some of the oldest agricultural areas in the world.

The pyramids  are an amazing site to visit. The scale of the pyramids really blows you away when you stand next to it , or walk around it on a camel.

Winter has come early. The first snow of the season has sparked the Niseko powder virus. Now with 6 months of white landscapes and cold ahead of us, we all look ahead to  those magical turns in deep Niseko powder.

Autumn is here. Sun, rain, sun rain. We are harvesting our pumpkins in between all the rain showers. Jenn pulled all these Halloween pumpkins out of the field today. If anyone wants these for their Halloween celebrations let me know and we can send them or deliver.
