Opening Day. What’s Ready. What’s Next.

Opening day for our farm market will be June 1, 2013!  We will open from 9 o’clock in the morning until 1 o’clock in the afternoon.

Please note that we have changed our hours this year.  We will be open Tuesday, Wednesday, & Friday from 10 am until 5 pm, and Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm.  We will be closed Sunday, Monday & Thursday.  After much deliberation over the winter we decided that this schedule would allow us to provide the best products for you while not falling behind on the work that goes into those products.

On June 1st we expect to have a nice selection of head and leaf lettuces, spinach, radishes, green onions, swiss chard, and possibly broccoli, cabbage & beets.  In the coming weeks we will also have carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, beans, peas, onions, cucumbers, zucchini, and more.  We also put out quite a few herbs this year including: rosemary, thyme, oregano, lemon mint, lemon balm, bronze fennel, basil, cilantro, chamomile, sage, etc.  And we are hoping to have cut flowers available later in the summer.

Conestoga Wagon Remix: camper makeover update. The cabinets and drawers are almost all repainted white. I’m getting ready to prime the interior cabinets and did I mention I hate painting?  Especially with this primer. Fingers crossed it turns out like we hope! (at The Farm)
