We’re heading out to the Orillia Farmer’s Market first thing in the morning tomorrow and will stop at Heritage Hill Farm (our CSA Farm) on the way home. I’m hoping the produce is a little better this week, but it has been SOO dry in the Barrie area for the last month that most of [...]

This year, my wife and I bought a share in a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm north of Barrie. I’m excited because tomorrow I get to go pick up our first round of fresh, farm grown organic vegetables! In fact, I’m so excited, I’ve created a new column here at the Barrie branch of [...]
