The Davison's New Cookbook coming soon!

View in browser JUST LIKE THAT, another year has begun! It has been so nice to see many of you already and we look forward to seeing many more of you throughout the year. This spring we have a few new things that we are excited to share with you. One, that you may have already noticed, is that we have crisp & juicy Davison Honeycrisp Apples available in the market!    These apples were picked last fall at their peak ripeness. From there, they were stored in CA storage. “CA” stands for “controlled atmosphere.” The apples were placed in a cooler outfitted with special equipment, and then the oxygen was sucked out of the room. This essentially puts the apples to sleep, because when there is no oxygen the apples will not break down or begin to decompose. The result? Fresh, crisp, juicy apples in May! We have a limited supply, so if you are wanting some apples, don’t wait too long. Watch the video of Kevin and Grandpa opening the CA Storage for the first time!    We are pumped about the apples, but what we are the most excited about this spring is revealing our new cookbook to you all! We (Rachel, Tamra and Laura) have been working on making this book for the past three years. Now it is complete and will be arriving mid-May, so stay tuned. The Davison Orchards Cookbook is a collection of favourite recipes from both our farm - yes you read that correctly, we are revealing some heretofore secret Davison recipes - and from our family. With an emphasis on eating seasonally, there is something for everyone within the pages.    Our photographer, Callum Kyllonen, did an outstanding job capturing the farm, food and family, setting the mood to either curl up and flip through the pages, or to don an apron and get busy in the kitchen. This project has been a very personal one. For 39 years we have been opening up our farm for everyone to come and enjoy, but this cookbook opens up our homes inviting you to step into our kitchens and sit around our tables. Watch the video of The Davison Girls talking about The Cookbook and the funniest moments of its production. Inside The Davison Orchards Cookbook you will find: 96 mouthwatering recipes; a guide to storing, freezing and canning a myriad of fruits and vegetables; canning tips and recipes; our family history as well as stories from the family dispersed throughout; well over 100 beautiful, full page photographs. Once the cookbook arrives, it will be available in the Davison Orchards Country Village. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates of its arrival.   Last but not least, we would like to invite you to stop by the farm, take a Spring Orchard Tour through the trees in bloom and have a Real Fruit Ice Cream. Just like last year, we are launching the "Cone for a Cause" Program. From every ice-cream cone purchased from the time we open until the beginning of June, we donate $0.50 to a school in our region. The school will be selected by a draw on June 8th at 4pm. If you want your child's school to participate, fill out a coupon for each cone and drop it off at the Old Brick Press. All the Best, The Davison Girls (aka. Rachel, Tamra and Laura) P.S. Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there! If you are looking for something special for the moms in your life, our market is full of treasures of all kinds. Please remember that we are closed on Sundays and Mondays for the month of May, so we will be closed on Mothers Day.  "to be a sustainable farm business that builds loyal customers, fulfilled staff and positive memories in a wholesome environment for our community to enjoy."
