In Western Canada, we know better than anyone how difficult the mid-winter can feel. If you’re a gardener, you know that although February can be one of the most depressing months, it is also the month you receive your seed catalogues. We lovers of fresh produce distract ourselves from the cold by browsing through pictures of brightly coloured flowers and vegetables, and dreaming of sowing our seeds and planting our gardens.
Even if you’re not a gardener yourself, February is a great month to look up your local small farms, pay them a visit to see what seeds they offer this year, and maybe get a peek at their greenhouses. In Alberta, you could check out Kuhlmann’s Market Gardens, or The Enjoy Centre. If you are in Brandon, Manitoba, you should visit Aagaard Farms, which is advertising their participation in the up-coming Seedy Sunday event this March.
Why do we mention Aagaard Farms in particular? For one thing, we just found out that Aagaard Farms loves Souptacular! When we read about Aagaard Farms from their blog, we realized they are a PERFECT fit with Souptacular soups: fresh produce, grown locally, sustainably, and organically are ALWAYS a great addition to our soup-er healthy soup pouches. If you live nearby, be sure pay them a visit at their farm, if you can, or at their market stalls when they open.
