It is unbelievable how the time does fly!
​From Christmas is it February already. And again a lot has happened. 

My first news is that the Spelt flour and the Buckwheat flour are now available in the PURPLE CARROT in 3 lb bags. I am grateful for their great service they provide me with by being able to drop off my orders at their place!

My second news is that,
​my clientele is growing and there are several restaurants and bars in Calgary, Edmonton, Banff, Lake Louise, Cochrane and area who are ordering their flour at our mill. Also every week I have some orders from my farmers market clients! This makes my mill working overtime and I was able to buy a bigger stone-mill from the old miller in Nanton. I also ordered 2 new machines in China to be able to bring more different products to the market. I found a buck wheat dehuller and a Flaker machine. When they arrive I am able to roll Spelt grains and oats into flakes for your breakfast;) and dehull the Buck wheat so I can sell you the grouts.
This means that we are going to make some changes in the mill.

Third: I have signed up again for the coming Farmers market season!
I hope to join them for 10 Saturdays again, and I am really looking forward for the market to start!

I want to wish all my customers a blessed Christmas and a prosperous 2020!!

On October 19 i attended the market for the last time this season.
I want to thank all my customers for making it fun to attend the markets!

During this in between season we will we open for orders on Monday - Saturday.
I hope to be in Lethbridge on Wednesdays to drop off your order at the purple carrot or meet with you in person.
​

Tomorrow I hope to be at the market but I did get a different spot for this week.
I will be straight ahead in the isle from the doors.
Hope to see you there!

Today is September 12, the rain is over and it is a beautiful day outside.
Between my last blog and today a lot has happened.
We did go away on Aug 5 but had to return the next day already due to the big storm that came over our farm.
The damage was unbelievable.
I would like to thank all of my clients and friends who did take the time to talk to us and for the support shown to us!

In the mean time I have attended 2 markets again and am looking forward to return the 21st of Sep.

The last market I had a new product with me.
Since I mill Buckwheat, I get a special kind of bran and the hulls as an extra product.
The bran is a healthy snack for our chickens and the hulls make great nesting material.
Since I have it in my nesting areas, they never pooped in there anymore and my eggs stay nice and clean!
I have taken it to the market and for now I am sold out already!!
If you like to try it , please let me know and I will add your name to a list and fill orders as soon as I mill Buckwheat again.
​

We hope to be there this coming Saturday

Today is the 1st of August.
Time seems to fly!
On July 22 I had the opportunity to meet with chefs, cooks and managers of health stores from Calgary and Area at the Galimax Chef Tour.
It was a very nice morning and I met with lots of people who showed interest in our flours!

In the meantime , on the farm, they have been busy combining the grass seed.
That means that next week will give us a little break with the field work.
We are thinking about going away for a camping trip but that means that the mill will be closed next week and that I have to reschedule the farmers market from Aug 10 to Aug 17.
If you do need flour next week please feel free to contact me before Saturday Afternoon and I hope to fill your order and arrange shipping into Lethbridge next week.

On Monday Aug 5 I will let you know if we will be closed for sure.

Coming Saturday is market day again for me.
I really look forward to it.
My next market date will be  July 20.
​Hope to meet lots of my customers again!

 Coming Saturday I hope to be at the market.
Due to a funeral I have to leave an hour before closing time.
You can find me there from 9.00 - 1.00 pm.
