The Italian Plums are droppingly delicious! I am picking them as fast as I can and they will be on sale Sept. 30th, Sunday, at the Farm Tour happening here at South Ridge Farm from 10 - 3.
We'll have lots of fruit, dried and fresh, and potatoes and such for sale plus lots of tasty, fresh goodies.
On the hour there will be mini workshops from edible plant i.d. to natural irrigation.
I'm looking for volunteers to help with flow. Let me know if you can help!
Back to the plums....

South Ridge Farm on the Salt Spring Farm Tour
Our farm is on the Sept. 30th Salt Spring Island Farm tour. We are small but we are big with doings inside the decorated fence here on South Ridge Drive.
We're featuring tours on the hour from 10 a.m. until 3 pm. Sept. 30th -
Learn how to pick your own Wild Salad
The Wonders of Recycled Water Treatment and Rainwater irrigation
Harvesting Nettles and Herbal Tea Tasting
Grind local wheat and other grains and sample cheese scones made with local cheese and South Ridge vegetables.
Hands-on mini workshops will give you a chance to learn some plant identification, harvesting techniques, how to grind flour with a stationary bicycle and much more.
Right now we are starting the Italian Plum crop, finishing the green beans, getting the second round of raspberries and nettles and becoming purple with blackberry juice. We have a bumper crop of blackberries so spelt pies will be made soon.
For purchase on the Farm Tour will be Seasonal produce, Our famous bicycle-ground Four cheese scones, Mini pizzas with vegan & gluten free options, Pickles, Jams (unsweetened and alternatively sweetened), Bottled juices, Garlic Scape Pesto, Nettle Teas and Happy Heart Tea, Dried foods, Bliss Balls, Gluten-free Cheesecakes and Berry Blast Bars.
We're excited and the farm calls everyone over on Sept. 30th.
