New Product -SPOTMYUVThis product is new for us and since my teen was excited about it, I thought others might also appreciate the technology which was developed in Waterloo!!! We are not able to sell the product on our website but are happy to add it to your order. Email if you'd like us to add a 20-pack of SpotMy UV to your order for $25 including HST. They are also available on our Spontaneous Table.
SPOTMYUV is your SPF’s new BFF! 💜One sticker works all day to show you when to re-apply your sunscreen.☀️
CLEAR WHEN SAFE. PURPLE WHEN IT’S TIME TO REAPPLY!
Each time you cover your SPOTMYUV® sticker with sunscreen, your SPOT will turn clear, showing you that you're protected from the sun's harmful UV rays. When your sunscreen wears off, SPOTMYUV® turns purple again to remind you to reapply your sunscreen. Each SPOT lasts one day, 12 hours of outdoor sunlight.

Warner's Fruit Farm HighlightsWe're having a fruit only pickup on Friday in UpTown Waterloo. I have the lowdown on the gorgeous Niagara fruit you can expect!
Nectarines! No fuzz and a bit more firm than most peaches
Peaches - Straight from the farm, all the fuzz, no fungicidal baths!
- Cresthaven - **Our favourite! A sweet, juicy, small freestone peach that is fuzzy! Its bright red skin touched with gold is striking. A non-browning, late-season variety, it is favoured for canning and freezing.
- Harcrest - A very attractive, medium-large peach. Red skin over greenish-yellow skin. The flesh is freestone, fairly firm, and contains some red pigment. The fruit is aromatic and the flavour is good. New to us!
- PF24 - Flamin' Fury - nicely coloured peaches with a firm flesh of excellent quality. It is freestone and is an all-purpose peach - canning, cooking, baking, freezing, drying and as always... fresh eating! Enjoy!
- Babygold Peaches - These clingstone peaches are sweet and juicy with solid flesh (peel with a knife) that are perfect for canning
Pears!
- French Bartlett - An old cultivar (AKA Guyot). Resembles Bartlett in shape and colour, but tends to be larger and rougher
- Clapp's Favourite - A sweet, crisp, tasty, green pear with a red blush. The Clapp pear has a 'melting' flesh and a bit fuller flavour.
- Bartlett - Light-green to completely yellow in colour. These are the juiciest pears for fresh eating. You can cook them to make pear sauce or pear butter.
Grapes- Sovereign Coronation Grapes - A virtually seedless blue table grape. It is a juicy, very sweet, blue grape. Excellent for fresh eating, preserving or juice
- Himrod Grapes - These are a cross between Thompson Seedless and Ontario grapes. The white seedless grape is juicy and sweet
Plums!
- Damson - *Our favourite! A small blue clingstone plum with an astringent taste that makes great jam, liqueur and plum cake
- Victory - A slightly tart plum that sweetens as it ripens. It is less firm than the Violet plum, a large round blue plum, almost freestone, purplish in colour.
- Violette - A slightly tart plum that sweetens as it ripens. They are firmer, dark blue like Stanley plums, large and oblong, almost freestone with a greenish flesh. This variety is rich in total antioxidants.
- Italian Prune Plums - Super tasty and great for drying, canning, baking and eating
| |
Apples!- Akane - Bright red skin with firm white flesh that is juicy with a good balance of sweet and sharp flavour—some note a mild strawberry, raspberry flavour, wine, and kiwi.
- Ginger Gold - bright golden-green with flesh that is fine-textured, crisp and creamy white with a gingery-sweet to mildly tart flavour.
- Golden Jubilee - Jubilee is crisp with a well-balanced flavour, but the crispness is lost in storage, so enjoy it now for fresh eating, juicing or cooking - slices hold their shape for pies and tarts.
- Lodi - An attractive yellow early-season apple with a sharp flavour, best used for cooking
- Paula Red - If you like tart apples, take a healthy bite and get some sweetness too. Their crisp white flesh is great for applesauce - which needs little or no sugar
- Pristine - Beautiful lemon-yellow apple with a perfect finish
- Spartan - A good all-purpose apple. Its crisp white flesh is aromatic and exceptionally juicy with a balanced sweet-tart apple flavour
- State Fair - Creamy Flesh is firm Juicy and Sweet - great for eating, saucing and for pies!
- Crab-apples - Tiny, sour, good for cooking and decorative also!
Since the fruit is gorgeous right now, we are offering a small pickup this Friday of the Labour Day weekend in UpTown Waterloo (NOT at the church).
- We have Damson Plums and
- Grapes! Sovereign Coronation and Himrod give us a purple and a green grape to start the season.
- PF24 Flamin' Fury Peaches are also on the order form
The pickup location will be sent to those who order.
I've left the pickup windows on the order form, but will email all who order once the fruit is here and pickup times will be *very* flexible.
We have a few bags of sweet potatoes and some Gordon's Goat Cheese available this week as well.
