PieceMeal Food Provisions

11/10/2025

I’m reminding myself as much as I’m reminding you.
If we have food in our fridge we are abundant. If we have time to cook, we are abundant. If we have friends to share food with we are rich.

Please leave your jars and bags on the steps 🙏🏻

How do we know it’s an oligopoly? If you see hundreds of products under one name and they can outprice the competition all the time… you know.
The food system can be scary but learning how to meal prep and how to research your food sources can become a thrilling way to bring food alive again.
I’m not here to shame anyone out of budgeting their way through a grocery haul but I do want to educate folx on the advantages of choosing a few smaller local items a week.

Carrot Day 8 hours of pulling, topping and washing. They turned out absolutely beautiful this year. I made sure I got a bag for PieceMeal so you can use these fresh out of the ground carrots for your carrot noodle pad Thai this week.

I thought I’d be on a farm for one season while I grew PieceMeal.
But life doesn’t always happen the way we expect.
Finishing up my fifth season, I’ve been reflecting on what has kept me working on the farm for so long.
Perspective is everything in life and if I were driven by a paycheque I would’ve been long gone by now.
My drive comes from a need for purpose. A fulfillment of a mission of sorts.
My farm work has brought me to that very sense of purpose I was longing for and I’m forever grateful.

One of my favourite things about running this business is when I see kids excited about veggies! In a world full of processed foods the whole food option helps kids grow healthy and strong. Wren loves their veggies from PieceMeal, what a delight!

Dunno what I would do without this fine human by my side every Friday packing your veggie produce bags full of local goodies.
