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.

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.

Mick will bring some Australian and New Zealand organic wines that match well with our organic produce.
How about a blended Moonvine, Hedonist rosé, or Terravin sauvignon blanc to name some.

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!

Kaoru Ohsumi from herb & natural room Kina came over to Niseko Green Farm with some herb loving friends for a farm tour and some vegetable picking.
Kim and Kat from J-Sekka in Hirafu made us a special lunch with a lot of NGF and local produce.
As you can see we more than enjoyed it. Thanks guys!

Here is a video of a morning at Niseko Green Farm. This was just before we hit by heavy rains and susuki grass took over and grew about 40 cm in 2 weeks. After that we lost quite a bit of produce that got swallowed up by the raging grass.
Having a fertile soil is great for your veggies, but also for the weeds.

This little pumpkin here is already perfect. Its got a little fruit and some flowers. All it needs now is to grow to supply this halloween pumpkin to grow to about 50kg. That is alot of growing, but there is still a lot of time until the end of September when pumpkin life comes to an end.

This is a photo of a seed potato about two weeks after planting. You can see the root system has already developed well and the white bean sprout like shoots are about to come out of the ground. This one is dug up so the shoots are blanched and white like white asparagus, but they will turn green as soon as they see sun light and leafs will form. A good root system is essential for a plant to establish well, so it is the first thing they develop when they grow to absorb water and nutrients for the growth of the plant and new potatoes.
Planting vegetables from root cuttings is a safe way to get the exact same offspring as the mother plant, it’s like a clone. Planting from seed may result in cross pollination, but may create new varieties that could be staple food in the future.
Potatoes are almost always grown from a cutting or a piece of potato, but if you want to experiment and play with nature, save the seed of the berries that produce ofter flowering and seed them the year after. they will produce potatoes, but all with a new character. They may become your new favourite.
