Bring your mugs to fill with warm local apple cider, or fair trade hot chocolate or coffee! HOT FOOD will be available for purchase (e.g. soup, samosa, muffins, etc.). Wrap yourself around a warm doner kebab stuffed with seasoned rice and lamb.
Along with holiday doodads and appurtenances from local craft vendors, our farmers offer fascinating ferments (kimchi!), lamb indulgences, jiggling jams and jellies, honeybee sweets, magical mushrooms, and much, much more!
Great under the tree and shared on the table for your holiday feasts!
Eco Gift Cards
Forêt Capitale Forest, a local non-profit will plan to sell these afforestation gift cards (for the person who has everything, give the gift of increased tree canopy in the Ottawa region) and serve warm apple cider in biodegradable cups (that can be used to plant tree seeds afterward)…
If you missed the market this past weekend, good news, we’re back again next weekend. For Thanksgiving, we’re having a special market day on Saturday so you can celebrate the harvest with fresh local foods grown right here on site.
Come for the vegetables, colourful greens, local honey, preserves, hot sauces and more. Stock up for winter! Don’t forget the mushrooms are coming! Drop by the Farm Stand. It’s right near the Big Red Barn!
So much garlic, so little time! Please come and visit us any Sunday from 9am to 2pm at 2389 Pepin Court, but make sure you stop by on September 14th to sample some delicious garlic treats. Learn all about the garlic growing right here in Ottawa, taste it, buy it, and have some fun with the proud farmers at the Just Food farm.
Check to see if the garlic eating contest slash kissing booth will become a reality or not! Hahaha! Hhhhhhello, do you like garlic as much as I do?
Thanks to all the folks who came out to support us today at the road side stand at 2389 Pepin Court. Personally I picked up a beautiful year old white mulberry tree, and some gorgeous broccoli and beets. I can’t wait until next sale day to see what all the participating farms will have on offer!
Also, something to look forward to towards the end of August or first part of September, are some special theme days, a mini-garlic festival, and an heirloom tomato tasting day. Can’t wait!
As it has been another late start this year, we will be easing into the roadside sales… after talking to many of the farmers, it looks like most will start selling produce on July 27th (delayed from the original projected date of July 6th).
Prior to that, there may be limited sales of such items as garlic scapes and greens. Keep an eye out for us at 2389 Pepin Court.
The starter plants are growing and all of us farming at the Just Food Farm at 2389 Pepin Court in Ottawa, Ontario are preparing for a tremendous growing year. We are part of the Just Food startup farms initiative, and though we represent separate and unique farm teams, we come together at the roadside to sell our organic products.
