CANADA DAY!

Pick your own Strawberries, Raspberries, Peas, Saskatoons 8am to 5pm

Summer Fest and Chip truck 10 am to 4pm – NEW PIRATE SHIP UNVEILED!

We’re gearing up for a great weekend! It’s gonna be fabulous!  Today is Canada Day and marks the official opening of our Summer Festival!!  We’re into Peak Season with Strawberries and our fields are still full just waiting for you to visit!
Amazingly enough our Saskatoon Berries are still going strong.  We believe it’s thanks to a cute (but not as cute as me) little  Horned Owl that has taken up residency in our Berry Field!  He’s scaring off all the Saskatoon Eating Birds and we love him.

Raspberries coming on beautifully and plenty of Peas for everyone!!

….and wait until you see our new Pirate ship!  It’s sweeeeeeeeeet!

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Who doesn’t love the weekend? Especially when it’s filled with Strawberries, Raspberries, Saskatoon Berries, Peas, Asparagus, Fresh Homemade Pies, Tarts, and tons of preserves!!
We’ll be opening our remote location out in the Berry Field as well as our Front Store today.  Head to the back for Strawberries, and to the Front for Raspberries!

Summer Fun festival runs Sat and Sun from 10am – 3pm!  WOO HOO! Train Rides!!

See you at the Farm,

Thursday June 24 – Saskatoons are here!

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

It’s an exciting day! Saskatoon Berries are here.  The question is “will we beat the birds?”  If you love em as much as we do, come today or tomorrow!! A few days is all we got!

On a yummy side note, I ate some Raspberries last night for desert.  They were fabulous.  We’ll be open for Pick your Own this weekend.

It’s a good day at Brooks Farms ….as per usual!

Wednesday June 23 – I gotta feeling….

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

It’s true! I gotta feeling… that this morning is gonna be a good good morning!  So many Strawberries!  So many Peas!  and guess what? Farmer Alvin said there may even be a few SASKATOON Berries to pick! (If you can fight off the birds)
Raspberries are coming along nicely!  We’ll keep you posted when picking will start, hopefully this weekend but we’ll know better in another day or so.

The new Laying hens are settling in quite nicely.  I gave them a tour of Roy’s Roost and the Hen Haven (where they sleep and lay eggs).  It’s basically a fancy hotel for Hens!  Thank goodness this farm only has 2 Roosters.  Me, and the other guy.  I call him Larry.

8am – 8pm today!

Monday June 21 – Summer is here!!

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Good afternoon folks!  Got slightly delayed writing today as 6 beautiful new laying hens arrived!!  They are wonderful, and obviously I needed to be there to greet them.

Picking is fantastic right now!  More berries than you can imagine!  And we now have all 3 Peas varieties available: Snow, Regular and Sugar Snaps!

It’s a great start to summer!!  I love it here!!

Sunday June 13, 2010 – Easy Picking!!

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

Looking for something to do today?  Come pick your own Strawberries and Peas!  The picking is easy peasy today!  Get it, “pea-sy”?  Yeah, I know, I am hilarious.
We’re open right now til 5pm today, and we’re also at the Uxbridge Farmers market this morning until 1pm.

The play yard will be open weather permitted, but so far it’s looking pretty good!

Hungry? Visit Mr. Chimpanzee’s Chip Truck today for fresh cut fries and Hotdogs!  It’s a beautiful thing.

Over and out.

Saturday June 12 – Don’t let the Rain be a pain!

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

It’s 10:30 am.  Wanna beat the crowds? Pick with ease?  Come pick your own today!  Peas and Strawberries! It’s only spitting here, so almost ideal conditions.  Can’t quite drag yourself far from home today? Well visit us in Aurora or Newmarket this morning!  Farmers markets run until 1pm.

Our Summer festival is scheduled to open today, but the fields are quite damp.  Makes for some slippery conditions!  Might be best to save it for another day.

An animal update:  New baby turkeys this week!  They are so cute, but obviously not as cute as I.

Til tomorrow,
Roy Good-Looking
