This spring has been so slow, and things are taking forever to grow. I am getting so antsy - I want to explore Farmer's Markets and buy fresh fruit and vegetables and cook delicious things!
Even though it might be a little while before local produce is ready to buy, I decided to make the short trip to Harvest Haven Health (just outside of Lethbridge) to check out their store that is open year-round. I came across the website during the winter and was both surprised that I had never heard of it before, and excited that an organic store was such a short drive away! I know you city kids probably don't see what the big deal is, but having an organic store where you can find products that you won't find in your average grocery store is quite a treat here in the middle of the prairies.
Harvest Haven is a whole lot of wonderful things in one place. It's an organic farm with a variety of livestock, grain, vegetables and fruits, and an on-farm store that sells the produce raised/grown at the farm, with a huge variety of organic products imported from as locally as possible. Plus the lady that helped me was suuuper nice. And let me take pictures, and answered all of my annoying questions. I'm excited to make a few trips there this summer, especially when the strawberries and raspberries are ready to pick
The Harvest Haven website is full of information, including a map with detailed directions and a full product list for the store. Take a look!
