Same, same, but the yellow version.

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.

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!
life is good in 6 courses.

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.

I always plant some aromatic herbs along the sides in the green house to attract bees for the pollination of the peppers, eggplants and tomatoes. Usually they self-pollinate, but on very hot days the pollen will not release well so they can use a little help. Not that we have had that problem recently, it has been very cool and more than adequate rain has come down upon us. There is no real need to fear these little insects as some do, as they are too busy collecting the nectar for their growing family. This wasp is collecting the nectar of some oregano.

We have had a bit of rain recently. On one of these days this frog was sitting on a fuki leaf waiting for the first drops to come down. Not using herbicides and pesticides greatly improves the frog population in your field. They are particularly sensitive to chemicals. They make some great insect munchers, so it is good to have them around.

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.

Marche and farmers market season has started again. Tomorrow, Sunday, Marche Sapporo will be at Hokkaido Jingu, in the beautiful Maruyama park.
A great location and it looks like we will be there for the whole summer season.
Because of the late start of our grow season we don’t have a lot to sell yet. But we will bring some great fat leeks, oak leaf lettuce, snow preserved carrots, asparagus and potatoes. With some roast pork, it sounds like a great meal to me.
Come early, early birds, get it fresh.

Goat morning from Niseko Green Farm. Our goats take a walk around the farm to scoop out the latest greens and also had a preview of the strawberries and next years purple asparagus. Here is the link for the you tube video.
