Hello everyone,

Once again I have grown a market garden this year.

Here is what is available now:

Iceberg lettuce $5/Head

Yellow beans $4/lb

Turnips $2.50/lb

Zucchini (Dark Green)$1 each 

The green onions, beets, carrots and cucumbers will hopefully be ready soon.

As always the items above have been grown from non-GMO heirloom seeds and I never use pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers.

Here are your options from which you can choose your preferred method of receive your produce.

#1Take a drive to my house to pick up your order. Our availability is quite open for this option.

#2 Your order can be picked up from  from Assumption Catholic Church (9034-95Avenue) between 4 and 4:30pm on Thursdays.This delivery time is subject to a $3 surcharge.

#3 I can deliver to your place of residence for a reasonable fee based on the distance traveled.

#4 If none of these options work for you we can meet at a location of your choosing with a surcharge based on the distance traveled.

God bless,

The media has unleashed a ruthless smear campaign, painting Alberta’s independence-minded women as radical villains to silence our voices. But we have had enough.

While Ottawa commands a taxpayer-funded media machine, Alberta women wield something far more powerful: authentic relationships and tight-knit communities. That’s why the Alberta Prosperity Party is launching Wild Rose Women — an initiative to rehumanize this conversation and show our fellow Albertans the true face of independence – yours.

Our goal is simple yet ambitious: place a Wild Rose Women pin on every independence-minded woman in Alberta. When enough of us stand visibly together, we shatter the lies and reveal this cause as mainstream, powerful, clear-eyed, and deeply compassionate.

As the 2011 “10% Tipping Point Principle” from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute shows, when just ten percent of a population holds an unshakable belief and shares it with conviction, that idea doesn’t just spread — it becomes unstoppable. Once the 10% line is crossed, social networks take over, the majority shifts, and the cultural tide turns with surprising speed with flexible majorities gradually adopting the committed minority’s view through repeated interactions.

We are already well beyond that 10% among Alberta women.

So, wear the pin proudly – spark those “repeated interactions”. Give one to every like-minded sister, mother, daughter, and friend. Speak with warmth and compassion as curiosity grows. Visit the Wild Rose Women site for our video FAQ library to help you engage confidently.

We are the sisters, wives, mothers, daughters, and grandmothers of this province. This is our Alberta. We will meet lies with truth, hate with compassion, and division with a cup of coffee.

Together, we tip the scales.
