Hello and welcome to our new website! We are excited to present to you a new and refreshed version of our site. Here we will be updating the blog section with updates, recipes, and seasonal musings.
Currently it is the beginning of September, which for us means fall harvest and pickling time for the cucumbers, cabbages, and beets that we bring you. As mentioned earlier, we source our vegetables from small organic family farms, and although the yields are not large, it is wonderful to know that the quality of their harvest is abundant in micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
Supporting small family farmers who practice organic farming techniques ensures a self-sustaining cycle adapted to local conditions, with ecological processes such as providing habitat for native pollinators and biodiversity. Today in our current environment where we find ourselves losing nutrient content in our conventionally grown food, supporting small-scale, organic farming is the obvious choice.
We are also pleased to hear that Poland is among one of the countries in the European Union that has voted on a total ban on GMO crops. Several countries such as France, Germany, Austria, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, Poland, Denmark, Malta, Slovenia, Italy and Croatia have chosen a total ban of GMO’s. This is great news for both biodiversity, the health of our planet, and the nutritious food that lands on our tables.
Stayed tuned for future posts, and happy late summer and harvest season!
