Back from Sheenboro: Fresh Greens, Fresh Energy

Hello from the Farm!

We’re back from a recent week away in Sheenboro, Quebec, where Heather, Allie, and Ron enjoyed lakeside days and local adventures. One highlight was visiting the Diefenbunker in Carp, Ontario—a fascinating piece of Cold War history.

👉 Fun Fact: Despite lending his name to the facility, there’s no record that Prime Minister John Diefenbaker ever visited the bunker. Built as a Central Emergency Government Headquarters (CEGHQ) to protect officials during a nuclear attack, it was never used for its intended purpose and only became public after the Cold War, now operating as a museum.

The time away gave us new energy to bring you the freshest greens possible!
