Yes we are open on Columbus day.


Hello, Yes we are open on Columbus day. We had several frosts which trim the list back however there is still lots of food here including greenhouse tomatoes, cucumbers, and lots of peppers. All the fall stuff like spinach, kale, leeks, celery, brussel sprouts etc. is in full swing. My Dad is steadily working at finishing the apple picking. We have over 100 bushels of nice organic heirloom apples in the coolers. We finished the sweet potato harvest last week with a yield of about 6,000 lbs which is right about average with what we normally expect in our somewhat short cooler summers. We plan to do the main irish potato harvest starting late next week and into the following week as weather permits. Potatoes store better if they can remain in the ground for 10 days or so after the vines die (the frost kills them) before they are dug. Enjoy the beauty of the fall color. Daniel
