Today’s post was delayed for good reason – we were waiting to get the release to share the following two secrets we’ve been hoarding (one of them for months) and the approval came after I went to work. I know I’m a geek but I can’t find the words to say how excited I am [...]

We’ve been having a lot more conversations on Twitter and through our Facebook group lately. Part of that is due to a 2-week business [...]

It’s mid July and the cool of summer has been extending growing seasons. Today’s post is a short reminder – our version of a public service announcement. 90 Minutes of work today can bring you fresh flavour beyond compare come winter. 90 minutes can make the difference between a chemical-filled, poor tasting, imported, gellatenous composite [...]

Our friend Margaret Mulligan is back (here and here). Margaret gave us a call and asked us if we’d like to “help” her Sister and Brother-in-law with their sour cherry bounty – they had picked all they wanted and the rest were destined for the lawn. We were more than happy to help – and [...]
