What's New on the Farm;

U-Pick Wildflowers for members only this Saturday!

This is our very first attempt at doing anything with flowers so we'd love to let the members have the first trail run.
Purchase tickets here.
We have a limited number of cutters so you are welcome to bring your own scissors if desired so you do not have to wait for a pair.
Children under the age of 12 will not be allowed cutters.

U-Pick This weekend!

Stop by the farm this weekend for more strawberry U-pick.

Saturday & Sunday 10am-4pm.

Are you getting Home Delivery? Invest in a cooler for your veggies & meat/freezer orders!

If you have signed up for a home delivery route, we highly suggest getting a cooler for us to leave your produce and potential frozen orders in while it waits for you to get home because it gets very hot in the summer!
We take back the boxes!!
- Please return the veggie boxes, containers, and other farm items. Don't recycle them! We reuse.
- Leave them out your following delivery & the driver will grab them.

Last-minute holiday & do you need to postpone your shares?

No problem!
Simply reschedule your share to another available week. (often you will be doubling up the week you choose)
- This can be done on your online profile.
Please DO NOT put your share on hold, reschedule it immediately.
- We ask this because what happens is you forget to reschedule the box & come the end of the season, you miss out on a box you've paid for. :(

Hay Season is Upon Us!

We are very busy getting all of our hay cut right now as it is ready and there is soooo much of it.
For those who do not know, hay is a mixture of grasses/forages that we grow/cut/and preserve as feed for our livestock in the winter.
- In the winter, all of the pastures are covered and snow, and there is nothing for the cows to graze, hence why we need to have a storage of winter feed.
- Cows are herbivores and ruminants which means they only eat vegetation! And boy do they eat a lot of it.
In a good growing season, we will get two cuts of hay off of each field. Sometimes 3 in a really good season.

Farm Store in Zephyr is open Thursday-Sundays. (See calendar on website)

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.
