Friday, November 30, 12:30pm-5:30pm

As you may have heard, earlier this week our van was stolen from the farm. We use the van to deliver produce and attend farmers’ markets.  Our market supplies – tents, tables, cloths, banners, chalkboards, display bins, etc. – were all in the van when it was stolen.  With the van and market supplies gone, we will not be attending the upcoming markets at Wooster Square and Edgewood Park this weekend, and likely not the following two weekends, which are the last of the year.  We’ll hope for the return or discovery of the van, and will plan to be back at the markets in May of 2019.

Since we won’t be attending the market, we’ll have our own pop up stand here in our barn on Friday, 12:30pm-5:30pm.  Our offering is limited to some extraordinary bunches of kale, watermelon radishes, a little bit of garlic, and our jars of honey, crushed tomatoes, marinara sauce and green tomato salsa.  

In addition to being able to pick up these items, this is your last chance to take advantage of our Early Bird CSA sign up: receive a discount and a free jar of salsa when you pay in full for our 20-week CSA by December 1.   Receive a free jar of salsa when you sign up for our 10-week/flexible CSA as well.  Check out our CSA Registration Form, sign up online, or join when you come to the farm.

Check out photos from Emmett O’Brien Technical School’s Culinary Program visit in October. Seniors came to the farm on Monday, October 22 and helped with harvesting beets, radishes, and fennel. Juniors came out on Monday, October 29 and helped with planting garlic in the learning garden, mulching our blueberries, and preparing our raised bed gardens for winter! We’re grateful to culinary instructor Perfecto Valle for bringing the students to the farm to connect them with local food production.
