Well it looks like we’re in for another 6 weeks of winter according to Shubenacadie Sam! But don’t worry we’ve got some amazing farmers in Nova Scotia growing things like cucumbers to keep us sane through these winter months. Speaking of which, this weeks subscription includes, you guessed it, an English cucumber! We are also adding a little extra colour to your subscription this week with daikon and watermelon radish as well as napa cabbage.
