Spring Fling

As spring arrives like a breath of fresh air, we delight in the new vegetables coming into season – asparagus, spinach, snow peas, green onions and herbs – our inspiration for this month’s newsletter. What better way to enjoy the spring-fresh fare than to treat your mom to a leisurely Mother’s Day farm outing. Soak in the warmer weather, savour fresh-off-the-grill food and indulge in delicious desserts. Make it a Mother’s Day to remember – visit your local farm.
