Thanks for the grow-your-own suggestions.

They make perfect sense.

Last year we tried a couple of different varieties and they did not work out. We have different seed ordered this year and plan to have rapini much later into the summer this year. Thanks Doug

I liked the rappinni (sp.?) greens a few years ago.
cheers, Doug

Hello Kent and Ruth,

I would love to chat with you about a project I’m working on concerning Working Land Conservation Easements in the Chignecto Isthmus. Specifically if you are connected to folks who may be interested in attending any of the information sessions we will be conducting on the topic.
The New Brunswick Community Land Trust is the only group in N.B. to offer this kind of owner-specific conservation easement and we want to get the word out to farmers and woodlot owners who may be interested.

Thanks,

Zach Melanson
Project Coordinator
New Brunswick Community Land Trust

Comment on 2012 Vegetables by kentcoates

Thank you for your comments about our vegetable washing system. Lets straighten things out a little:

We use food grade water hose, tested well water and wash on a steel bedspring that is outside. Being outside, it is exposed to the sun (the world’s greatest disinfectant). Our bins are washed and never touch the ground between harvest and delivery to our pick-up location. Our vegetables are very safe and the only thing dirty about them might be a bit of our great soil that is left on through the wash process.

If you think that our system is less safe than any of the vegetables available in the stores, do some research and visit some of the big wholesale farms/factories. Check out our Safety Policy on the website too (http://naturesroutefarm.ca/4-our-seasons/7-our-safety-policies-for-you-and-us/).

While we are working towards a concrete floor in our wash area and bigger and more “professional” wash table, we are confident in the safety of our products; in fact, our livelihood depends on it. Please let us know if you have any concerns and thanks again for your comments.

Kent Coates

Sackville is so fortunate to have your CSA service. The veggies and meat are such high quality! It is wonderful to have delicious organic, local produce for our family, and at a very reasonable cost to boot. Thank you!!

Last week my husband said “Wow” Nature’s Route” veggies are great looking, and I said they are great tasting too. I have to admire people who work so hard to satisfy their customers
