Maple Syrup Season is done for 2022

  • It was not a great season but we got a little extra sap flow near the end thanks to the recent cold days we had to endure! (the only good reason to have snowfall in mid-April).
  • We have got a bunch of our kegs full of our maple syrup that we will be bottling over the year, so if you'd like to get your hands on some, watch for it in the swap and/or extras section!

U-Pick Flower Opportunities this Summer! 

  • We are making our first attempt at growing u-pick flowers.
  • We have got the seed and will be planting in the coming weeks. 
  • *IF* we are able to grow some wildflowers, we will be organizing u-pick days. SO, cross your fingers for us and hopefully, we will see our first u-pick flower days this summer. 

Our Programs Pricing with all that is going on

  • Right now our prices are forecasted to remain the same with little increase over time in response to the prices of everything increasing so drastically. 
  • We have locked in a lot of purchase pricing for the year. 
  • As always, we will be transparent with you all if we are in need of "one-off" price increases. 

We've locked in supply lines for our 2022 Summer Growing Season

  • With the uncertainty of many items these days, we wanted to be on top of things.
  • We have our seed orders booked- most remained the same price, some increases but not terrible.
  • We have invested in good equipment & strengthened our numbers for our livestock so we are looking at a good start (knock on wood) for the summer. 

 

Farm Store in Zephyr opens every other Saturday. (See calendar on website)

Home Delivery? Invest in a cooler for your veggies.

  • If you have signed up for a home delivery route, we highly suggest getting a cooler for us to leave your produce in while it waits for you to get home because it gets very cold in the winter.

Please Return Boxes & Red Cooler Bags!

  • Home Delivery: Please leave the box & containers out for the drivers to pick up.
  • Pick Up Locations: Leave the box and/or items there and we will pick them up. 
  • To Return Veggie Boxes 
    • Remove the sticker with your name on it
    • Fold the boxes down so they are flat
      • Pop the bottom in, the pull on the flaps out until flat.
  • Return Red Bags
  • We accept 12 slot egg cartons & mason jar returns.
