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.

How about a blended Moonvine, Hedonist rosé, or Terravin sauvignon blanc to name some.

 

Terasawa san, chef of the Life  Stock  has put a menu to these wines that will definitely bring out the best of each other.

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.

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.

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.
