Come lend a hand at Amma Canada Farms! Through the growing season, volunteers gather on Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM — the orchard team tends the fruit trees, the beekeeping team cares for the hives, and the veggie and flower garden teams always appreciate help weeding and watering. Drop in for any length of time; a delicious lunch is provided. Please dress for the weather: garden gloves, hat, sunscreen, water bottle and closed-toe shoes.
This Saturday, the veggie garden team needs help veggie harvesting, removing spent plants, and removing and storing landscape fabric and staples. The open shed area also urgently needs to be tidied and organized.
From summer until November, Amma Canada Farms seasonal veggies, and fruits are available for purchase at the farm stand on Saturdays between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Produce available this Saturday will include our first jars of this year's honey, Empire apples, Northern Spy apples, and Bosc pears from the orchard, and many types of squash, potatoes, carrots, leeks, Swiss chard, Malabar spinach, and eggplant from the veggie garden. There will also be Amma Canada's honey, apple juice, and a variety of house-made chutneys for sale, including pumpkin chutney, mild tomato chutney and spicy tomato chutney. Your purchase supports Amma Canada’s environmental and charitable activities!
