The Farm stand is open today,


The farm stand is open from 12:30- 5 pm today. (This is the last open weekend before Christmas) We will also be open on Friday and Saturday afternoons. This morning Phillip cut a nice tub of swiss chard from the greenhouse. The stand is stocked with this along with kale, lots of squash, and other storage vegetables. We received another shipment of goodies for the bulk food room last evening so the bulk food room is also stocked.
This is the time of the year that we are planning for next year and doing the seed and plant orders. I enjoy growing flowers and we are thinking to offer the free u-cut flowers again this coming year. The plan is to do a little more onions, maybe 60-70,000 plants instead of 50,000. Many of the crops will have hardly any change but I am thinking of less of the oddball and specialty crops that normally sell mostly to the restaurants. Of course all planning is just that- this is assuming that God continues to give us health and energy and that the world does not get too bad turned upside down. For us 2020 was a wild year and a hard year in some senses with the drought etc however in the end the finances look ok and in general it was a good year. Thank you Lord for your mercies to us.
Winter schedule: In the month of December we will open the farm stand on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays from 12:30 pm till 5 pm. We will be completely closed from Christmas till New year. After the new year till spring the plan is to be open every Friday (12:30pm – 5pm) weather permitting. (If the weather is very stormy or cold call ahead before coming during those midwinter days).

In early May when the asparagus comes up summer hours will resume ( Mon-Sat 10 am -6 pm.
