And there will be other surprises, I'm pretty sure of that.
Special Note: I know I'm not very good at pricing but I also know that everything grown on my property is grown following the principles of organic cultivation: absolutely no pesticides, chemical fertilizers or herbicides have ever been used, and any horse manure applied to specific beds was (a) aged, and (b) mixed into the soil more than 90 days from first harvest.
I also know that my prices are far lower than can be found at retail grocery stores. For example, this week celery at Sobeys is $2.69, lettuce ranges from $ 1.49 to $ 2.99 depending on type (and mine is nicer), chard is $ 2.99, turnip (and these are from storage turnips, not this year's stock) is $ .79 per pound, cabbage is
$ .99 per pound, and green and yellow beans are $2.99 per pound.
My prices are low because I'm new to agriculture and I need to prove to my clientele that I am able to provide a reasonable variety of fresh produce. Yes, I have been approached to move my retail business to the Antigonish Farmer's Market, but I would prefer to remain in my own neighbourhood and provide what I believe is a valuable service to my neighbours.
I hope to see you all this Saturday. Stay well.
