New and noteworthy

Baby carrots and baby beets from Friesen Farm are sweet and summery. Ease into August with peaches, peaches, peaches from Cawston.

From the Valley

The gorgeous weather has been doing our Valley growers some big favours. From Friesen Farm in Aldergrove, enjoy tatsoi, kale, arugula, mustard, spinach, green and red dandelion, braising mix, and Valley Mix. From Olera Farms in Abbotsford, savour arugula, baby spinach, braising mix, and that fabulous raab-like broccoli. From Glen Valley in Mt. Lehman, scoop up gorgeous fennel, green leaf and romaine head lettuces, green onions, rainbow chard, and bunch spinach. To complete the list, Meyers Farm in Delta offers up lovely french breakfast radishes, red leaf lettuce, and italian parsley.

Radish roundup

We’ve extended the sweet deal on radishes one more week! To welcome our new grower, Back to Earth Farms, to the fold, we’re offering their beautiful red radishes at a buck a bunch.

Mmmmmmm… summer fruit

Super sweet blueberries from Mander Brothers Farm, Olera Farms’ stunning raspberries, perfectly plump Rainier and Lambert cherries and those gorgeous Cawston peaches. Say it again: mmmmmmmm…

Glorious, glorious, glorious

Glorious Organics never fails to deliver. Celebration Salad (with or without flower petals), seasonal salad, braising mix, fava tips, pea tips, sorrel, baby leeks, baby fennel, mixed baby beets, and fava beans are all stunning. Don’t miss their fabulous uncured, fresh garlic (yum!). Herbs are plentiful with mixed dessert or savoury garnish, lavender tips, mixed mint, oregano, rosemary, sage flowers, savory, sweet cicely, spearmint, flowering thyme and woodland sorrel. Flowers look fabulous with bachelor buttons and nasturtiums, mixed edible flowers and flower petal mixes.

flat + juicy

They’re not as sleek & stylish as their Torpedo cousins, but flat-top cipollinis are the top choice for any dish, from roast meats to panini, that will benefits from a sweet, mild onion… particularly when caramelized. We have plenty coming in each week from Notch Hill Organics in Sorrento.

beets!

They are sweet, colourful and full of flavour. Our organic, locally grown red , gold and chioggia beets are a classic winter vegetable. We like to think that they bring some colour to the cool, dark nights of fall and winter in BC. Our baby beets are sold out for the season, but new sprouts will be here come summer.  Until then, our local + organic bulk beets are available for you to enjoy.

season for squash

Squash makes for a great fall harvest and winter storage vegetable. With spring just around the corner, many varieties of local squash are bought out for the season. We still have a great red kuri squash from Cawston,  and flavourful kabocha squash from Delta. Get it now before it is gone for the summer!

sunny days

The crisp, nutty flavour of the sunchoke makes it a unique root vegetable that goes great in a savory stew, a creamy root vegetable gratin,  with a salad or all by itself.  Notch Hill Organics in Sorrento is mighty fond of their  sunchokes, and so are we. We hope that they become a favorite of yours as well.

fragrant fruits of harvest

Quince has returned for the fall and winter! This fragrant fruit of the fall season is a favorite of chefs and home cooks. With the first frost of the year come and gone, the quince harvest in Kelowna produced a bounty of bright yellow fruit this year. Be sure to order yours before this popular fruit runs out.

new crop, vintage flavours

Given the Similkameen Valley’s typically ideal growing conditions for field tomatoes, you can forgive Kevin and Annemarie Klippenstein’s enthusiasm for variety. Their farm’s website lists five pages and over 100 heirloom tomatoes in full organic production, including tasting-is-believing types like Chocolate Stripes, Marbled Pear and Cream Sausage. Dozens of perfectly sun-ripened Klippers Acres varieties arrive at biovia’s door every week just waiting to inspire your next tomato creation.
