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.

A member of the hibiscus family. Okra has beautiful flowers and attracts many insects. Easily used as an ornamental plant in the garden and tasty also.

A hungry goat is an angry goat. So to prevent that they got us working hard to make sure they got enough to eat during our long white winters.
I was not easy to dry grasses this summer with the enormous amout of rain we have had. But this week has been really nice and some true Hokkaido weather returned. The weather we all love so much.
Busy with a million things, but with more new rain coming we had to get the straw bales in, otherwise they would go bad. At least the goats will have plenty to eat and there may be enough left to make a start at the straw bale house i want to build.

Together with EN-Dining, Niseko Green Farm organized a great experience for our Hong Kong and Taiwanese guests. Our organic vegetables were hand picked and even the potatoes dug up and instantly and professionally cooked up by chefs Naoki and Jerrod.
A cooking class in Japanese cuisine and food right of the land. Fresher than fresh.
Our Mirai corn and Hokkaido scallops were by far the favourites of the bbq.

Chilis come in a wide variety of shapes, colours and hotness. These chilis make a great border or pot plant and are handy to have around when you want to spice up your life a bit.

The lack of sunlight and dry days didn’t do much good to our purple friends here. Their season got terminated a bit prematurely, but we got some others coming on the way for autumn.
With the warm and wet weather from the past 6 weeks lots of leafy green are struggling and sending prices up. Even the fish are struggling and fishermen are not really catching any fish. Sanma, usually a cheapy, is rated at ¥800 and scallops and other shell fish are looking to get pretty pricey over the next months.
