Last Call for the 2012 Season

Last Call for the 2012 Season

This will be the last weekend our farm stand will be open for the 2012 season (October 12-14). Come on out for fresh vegetables, berries, flowers and herbs. We have sweet potatoes, white and fingerling potatoes, winter squash – acorn, buttercup, butternut and blue hubbard. Not sure what to do with a BIG hubbard squash? Well, make a pumpkin pie out of it – it is a great substitute! Or bake it just as you would any other winter squash. Other vegetables available are romaine and butterhead lettuce, beets and tomatoes from our high tunnel, along with peppers, garlic, and the last of the zucchini.

Prelude, Heritage and Caroline raspberries still have many tasty berries on them.
Farmstand will be open Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 9:30 am to 5 pm.

Thank you for your support! We look forward to seeing you in 2013.

Our new crop of beets, romaine and butterhead lettuce, and scallions is ready. Our other available vegetables are fresh picked tomatoes, peppers, garlic, eggplant, green beans, cabbage, yellow and zucchini summer squash, blue hubbard, acorn, buttercup, butternut and spaghetti winter squash, and red, white and fingerling potatoes. Sweet potatoes will be available soon.

Labor Day Weekend at the Farm

It’s the beginning of September, summer is coming to a close,  school has started, AND our  fall raspberry plants are producing great tasting berries. Come on out to the farm this Labor Day weekend and enjoy great weather with a relaxing stroll through our blooming flower field and aromatic herb garden. Plenty of fresh picked vegetables are available with recipes for new ways to prepare them and our herbs.

The raspberry field will be open for pick-your-own Friday, Saturday and Sunday. No picking on Monday. Cut-your-own flowers and herbs are available Friday through Monday. Labor Day Weekend hours for the farm stand are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 am to 5 pm, and Monday from 10 am to 5 pm.

Berry Picking Weekend of August 11 & 12

Our raspberry field was picked clean today and so the field will remain closed on Saturday August 11 to give the berries a chance to ripen. The field will re-open on Sunday August 12 at 10 am. However, our flower field is full of beautiful blooms and is open all weekend. Fresh herbs, cut to order, are growing in our new herb garden. And our many different vegetables are picked and at the stand. Come on out and have a fun day at the farm!
