Nursery time at NGF. Looking after many little baby plants. It is a bit of a delicate job.
These little fellows don’t need much but some light, water and fertilizer, but to get the balance right for good growth is a bit harder.
Once the plants are established and the first true leaves are appearing life goes pretty quick for these jalapenos. they will be producing their first fruit in two months time.
We had a bit of a late start, but late May early June we will have seedlings for sale as well. But for outdoor planting that is right on time for Hokkaido.

Sign up to Niseko Green Farm and bring the farm to your home.
For ¥2500 you get a box with seasonal vegetables and herbs directly from Hokkaido to your home.
We will start sometime in June, when the snow is gone and our asparagus will come up. Then from July onward, there will be a steady supply of different organics.
We grow lots of heirloom vegetables and it will be great for you to taste the difference in vegetables that have the same name, but look completely different. We will try to add recipes to these, maybe, new varieties as well, so you can start cooking right out of the box.
Niseko Green Farm brings the best of Hokkaido, directly to you.

The harvest season is only just behind us, but already looking ahead at the next. Saving seeds gives you the advantage of having enough seeds for the next few years, but it is also fun to grow new varieties. Also markets change and customer demands change. Enough to keep busy looking around for new things to grow.
In the old days when everyone saved their own seed, these open pollinated varieties mixed a lot. This gave us the great variety of food we have now and also made plants more disease resistant. Now markets demand all similar shaped and sized food, so it eases the use and packaging. It sure can be handy and it works in a large industrial scale, but personally i find more satisfaction in these odd shaped veggies and other botanical surprises you may find in your garden.

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.

We are really busy on the land harvesting pumpkins and potatoes and in the greenhouse our heirloom tomatoes our showing their true colours. We have about 15 different tomatoes in all kinds of different shapes and shades. Right now we have an abundance of my favourites: purple russian and white peach. All mixed up in a tomato salad is a great surprise in different flavours and textures.

September and time for digging up our potatoes. Always a bit of a surprise to see what’s underneath all that dirt. We started out with our organic potatoes to get them ready for the Organic Festival in Sapporo this weekend.
The Toya and Kita Akari looked good, above expectation. The excessive rains this summer didn’t do much to please our spuds. Their life got terminated a bit early, but the yield was pretty good.
New potatoes are delicious, so come and get some this weekend in Sapporo or come and get them on the farm.
