The farmstand is packed with good food today. I have over 100 dozen sweet corn . This is available by each, dozens or the bagful. The onion harvest is about half finished. Thursday we filled 125 crates of mostly yellow storage onions. Bulk onion prices is the same as last year. Most kinds $20 per 25 lb bag or fill your own box from the display. Storage garlic is dry and ready to purchase ($6 LB for 5 plus lbs). This is the peak of watermelon and cantaloupe season. Enjoy them now as autumn comes quickly and with that another set of good foods to enjoy from the garden. We already have the first winter squash out for sale today. This year we plan to end summer hours (and start late fall hours) in early November when daylight savings time ends rather than at Thanksgiving. Late fall hours will continue till Christmas. You may have heard that I am thinking about retirement and selling this business. It is true. For more details see the letter that is at the farmstand and posted on facebook. At the moment there is no price set and no fixed timeline for this. I am still planting cover crops and preparing ground to plant strawberries and everything else in 2024. I bought lime to lime the fields this fall. If I am not still at the helm next year I hope to have passed it on to a capable successor. We have the full amount of young healthy strawberries planted and anticipate abundant strawberries in June of next year. We plan to keep the old farm over at Southville Corners for the forseeable future. Daniel
