THE FARM YEAR

What the season brings, month by month

Spring

First cuttings and chicks

Asparagus, rhubarb and salad greens open the stand. The hens go back out on grass and the orchard blossoms. Seedlings fill the greenhouse.

Early summer

Strawberries and the first boxes

Pick-your-own strawberries, peas, new potatoes and the first weekly boxes. Honey is pulled from the hives.

High summer

Tomatoes by the crate

Sweet corn picked at dawn, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and blueberries. The busiest weeks of the year at the stand.

Fall

Apples, pumpkins and hayrides

The orchard comes in, the pumpkin field opens, weekend wagon rides run and the corn maze is cut. Preserves are made from the surplus.

Winter

Storage crops and planning

Squash, onions, potatoes, eggs and preserves on Saturday mornings. The next season's rotation is planned at the kitchen table.

Nothing here is grown for a warehouse

The stand opens when the first asparagus is cut and closes after the last pumpkin goes home. In between there are tomatoes by the crate, sweet corn picked the same morning, eggs from hens that wander, and whatever the orchard is giving that week.

  • Picked the morning it is sold
  • Varieties chosen for flavor
  • Ask how anything was grown

Farmed so the next generation can farm it

Nothing here is grown for a distributor. It is grown for the people who pull into the lane, which is why the varieties are chosen for flavor rather than shelf life and why you can always ask exactly how something was raised.

  • Cover crops and rotation
  • Pasture rested between grazings
  • Hens and cattle on grass

FROM THE LANE

What the neighbors say

A short quote from a happy client belongs here. Two or three sentences is usually enough to make the point without losing the reader.

BEFORE YOU VISIT

The questions we get at the stand

Daily from late spring through the end of October, with the hours posted on the stand page. Off season the stand opens on Saturday mornings with storage crops, eggs and preserves.

You sign up for a season, we pack a box of what is ripe each week, and you collect it at the stand or have it delivered within a few miles. The contents follow the season, so June is greens and strawberries and September is tomatoes and squash.

Yes. Weekends in the fall have wagon rides and the corn maze, the hens are out most days, and school and group visits can be arranged on weekdays.

The fields are worked with cover crops, rotation and compost, and nothing is sprayed that we would not want on our own table. Ask at the stand about any particular crop and we will tell you exactly how it was grown.

Know when the strawberries are ready

A short note when a crop comes in, the stand hours change or the pumpkin field opens. Nothing else.
