The Nature of Natural

This year all our garden vegetables, except for our sweet corn (which was low-spray), were grown without the use of commercial chemical-based pesticides and herbicides. Although we are not certified organic, we are trying to offer produce that is respectful to our environment and better for our customers (and our own families). Yesterday I was reminded of why we are putting in the extra effort with some wonderful Black Swallowtail Caterpillars on the carrot greens and fennel. Sure they nibbled a bit, but I am sure those butterflies will be worth it!


This week at the farm stand we will have radishes, turnips, peppers and some tomatoes. We are also starting to get some of those great fall signal crops such as apples, pumpkins and butternut squash. Think of us when you are getting ready to decorate your houses for Halloween because we are offering bundles of corn stalks! And we have firewood available in small piles, which are perfect for backyard fire pits or in bigger stacks if you are stocking up for the winter.

Farm Stand Hours are as follows:

Tuesdays and Thursdays 2:30 pm- 4:30pm
&
Saturday Mornings 9:00 am- 12:00pm
