We're thinking these retro morning glory muffins should make a big comeback this winter, and now that most of us are staying home all the time we're sure we could all use a healthy baking project to keep us busy. Loaded with seasonal fruits and veggies (apples and carrots, but you could also use parsnips!), these earthy whole grain bites are absolutely delicious. https://bit.ly/2yYaY0R

The kids might not be heading back to school today, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't start the week off right by prepping some veggies ahead of time to pack as an online school snack!

Why not add more soluble fibre to your diet by enjoying some parsnips this weekend? Parsnips are delicious roasted, baked, sauteed, steamed, mashed or pureed, used in stews and fried! You can even eat them raw! Try them peeled thinly & added to salad.

After a few days (er, weeks) of indulgences, we're whipping up immune-boosting smoothies for an energizing boost! Try combining carrots, oranges, tropical fruit, ginger, turmeric, honey and lemon. This colourful combination is sure to get your day started with a zing!

Happy New Year! We all get the exact same 365 days, the only difference is what we do with them. We'll be working hard to make 2021 a delicious year for everyone. Here's a peek at some of our most popular posts from 2020. What a year it was.

Everyone is impressed when the Thanksgiving turkey comes to the table, but we like to think the real heroes of the show are the sides like roasted carrots, mashed potatoes and beet salad. The perfect time to make them is now during Ontario Agriculture Week, as we celebrate the harvest and thank our farmers and their families for working so hard to put food on our plates. #OntAgWeek

Thank goodness beets have finally started to gain the popularity they so deserve! Long gone are the days when beets were served only boiled or pickled, and today almost every good restaurant features their own version of a beet salad. Here’s ours: https://bit.ly/2CCQheP

'Tis the season for busting out the slow cooker and making stews! We're partial to the beef, potato and carrot kind... how about you? What stews are you craving this season?

Look what we discovered while grading! Sending lots of (potato) love to all of you this weekend!

We are unabashed fans of Betty Binon, the writer and photographer behind the prolific blog Stems & Forks, and her crispy smashed potatoes and eggs are truly a meal you won’t want to miss. https://bit.ly/2F64MqY

Zucchini bread and banana bread get a lot of attention, but we think this sweet carrot loaf is the perfect snacking cake (and great for the school lunchbox, too)! Pair with a cup of coffee/tea for the perfect afternoon snack. https://bit.ly/32N2JSc

Happy Tuesday! Here's another peek at our onion harvest, which is continuing this week!

Happy Fall, y'all! We know you might be sad to say sayonara to your beloved summer veggies, but we're pretty excited that root vegetables like carrots, onions, potatoes, beets and parsnips will now have their turn in the spotlight! Stay tuned for lots of cooking tips and recipes in the coming months! Also, please let us know if there is anything specific you'd like to see from us... we'd love to hear your feedback!

Mashed potato gives these dinner rolls both their soft texture, and staying power: they'll remain moist and fresh-tasting at room temperature for several days, meaning they're a good candidate for make-ahead. With Canadian Thanksgiving just two weeks away, this is a recipe to bookmark for sure! https://bit.ly/2lFi3QZ

One of the VERY best and easiest things you can make in a slow cooker is caramelized onions. They add flavour to everything from pasta to pizza to burgers, and can be easily turned into soup with the addition of some stock. They are worth the price of a slow cooker alone!

Hip, hip, hooray... it's Friday! Parsnips might be the underrated root vegetable you're probably underusing. In this recipe, they replace potatoes to make chips and are served alongside a sriracha mayo. Pass the plate, please! https://bit.ly/331KcEI

Our local red onion harvest is underway, and they are destined for our new storage facility! As a reminder, we've invested in cold storage technology to cure and store our products, allowing them to remain fresh for longer. We're also proud to say this new system is far more energy efficient and uses environmentally friendly alternatives for cooling that has low global warming potential. Have a great day, all!

Did you know... A medium-sized potato has just 100 calories, but is full of vitamins and minerals like B6, Vitamin C and potassium. Eat the whole potato including the skin, to benefit from the soluble fibre, which helps you feel full for a longer time. Now tell us, what is you absolute favourite way to enjoy potatoes in the fall?

We love the look of these cozy, comforting fall-inspired recipes featuring carrots, potatoes, and onions! A perfect fall harvest dinner idea, don't you think? https://bit.ly/3iRt75V

Did you know... many food historians believe that carrot cake came to be after the popularity of carrot puddings eaten by Europeans in the Middle Ages. At that time, sugar was expensive and many people used carrots as a substitute for sugar. Are you a carrot cake fan?

Wow, we are so excited that our community has grown to 30,000 here on Facebook! Thanks for following our updates from the farm!

Craving some colour on your plate today? Try serving a beet and spinach salad to bring some edible sunshine to the table in a healthy, delicious way. Have a great Monday, friends! #meatlessmonday

We're starting to assemble our must-make cool weather comfort foods, and this sausage and potato soup is currently at the top of the list. A simple, flavourful recipe everyone is sure to love. https://bit.ly/33CuVJK

When you're thinking about roasting veggies this weekend, don't forget to include a bunch of beets and parsnips! They add a ton of flavour and colour to your meal and taste incredible when cooked this way.

Pear and parsnips are the perfect flavour combo - so good together in soups and salads - and using both as a flavour base for these muffins is nothing short of brilliant! How do you feel about the combo? Happy weekend baking! https://bit.ly/32GtDhg

The very best crispy potatoes are both boiled and fried/roasted. These pressure cooker crispy potatoes make quick work of the task, and are perfect for weeknight dinners! https://bit.ly/2IKog7c

Meal prep isn’t just for dinner! Why not make a big batch of Oh She Glows carrot cake oatmeal to help bring a boost of energy and nutrition to your weekday mornings?
