Sooo much bounty at the winter farmers market today! Come stock up on veggies, it is a beautiful day in the big city!
Winter Sustenance
🎵⛄️Making a (restaurant harvest) list, checking it twice, wanna find out where to dine out real nice? Cropthorne’s Crysta is coming to town🎄🎵 • In all seriousness we’ve got all whole lot of fresh produce heading out to some great restaurants. • Be sure to dine with them as they are great supporters of local/organic agriculture and it’s partnerships like these that keep us farmers farming the land and pushing the boundaries to what we can grow. 💚
Greenhouses are always a nice place to be on a frosty, sunny morning. Isabelle is picking some beautiful chicories for the @cropthornefarmstand and #rileyparkfm
It’s such a rare site to have the fields so green so late in the year, and with all this cold weather this sea of winter cover crop should winter kill and start to decompose providing some great organic matter for next season. It’s always a mad rush to seed cover crop in the fall as we are in the thick of harvesting but it is always well worth it. This cover crop was seeded at the end of a long potato harvest day, finishing seeding in the dark as the rain was just starting to come down.
We’ve got a great deal on winter squash right now at @vanmarkets #rileyparkfm • 💥Buy 2 and get 1 FREE!💥 We’ve got a huge selection; from Acorn to Butternut to Kabocha to Delicata and Pie Pumpkin and much more!
Farmstand prep is going on right now, getting ready for tomorrow. Along with veggies and eggs, this week we’ve got eucalyptus wreaths from @riverandseaflowers too!
Winter salads
Hoophouse crops💥 💣
Early Winter CSA bins packed and ready for tomorrow’s pickups • 📷 @lehmanncrysta
A little sneak peak of what will be fresh at the @cropthornefarmstand this Saturday

When pregnant, I can’t help but compare vegetable sizes to baby size, and I imagine I am not the only farmer to do so! At 30weeks baby was ‘supposed to be’ the same size as a large cabbage (which thankfully the internet is full of false information as our cabbages we were pulling out that week were easy 8lb each and about the size of my belly!) And I’d say this is a newborn baby head sized celeriac, I don’t know what happened but they are HUGE this year!
New Hours at the Farmstand Saturdays from 10-3 until December 22nd. We will still have plenty of veggies, eggs and flowers just jam packed into one day, hope to see you out this fall! #westhamisland #eatlocal #ladner #tsawwassen #farmstand
Farmstand is brimming with this seasons harvest. All Certified Organic and all grown right here on our family farm on Westham Island. This is the last full weekend we are open as starting in November we will just be open on Saturdays.
