With all of the rain we received my young, recently transplanted lettuce has survived! Hardening off your plants before they go into the ground is a great way to make sure tender plants will make it through unpredictable weather!

About
The Acadia Community Farm began in the spring of 2008 with the vision of providing local, organic produce to the dining hall at Acadia University, while also serving as a community garden. The Farm has grown to become an educational community centre for the exchange of knowledge surrounding gardening, food, and sustainable agriculture. Explore the site to find out more or stop by the Farm for a visit!

First of many little pumpkins growing in our patch! We grow Baby Pam Pumpkins at the Acadia Farm as they are a great pie pumpkins. 🥧
After a wet and cold spring we didn’t know how our tomatoes would do. We were excited to see this first set of fruit! 🍅. We have four different types of tomatoes growing in the garden: Golden Cherry, Mountain Magic, Mountain Merit, and Blueberry Cherry!

What kind of tomatoes are you growing?
Our cucumbers are looking great and are starting to climb our trellis! We are trellising our plants to change things up! Hopefully this will produce healthier, more uniform fruit come harvest time. .
How do you grow your cucumbers ? 🥒
Our leeks are in the ground, ready for the rain to come this week 🌧.
The bees are hard at work foraging in the community garden. 🐝
