Labor on Labor Day and other news...

Labor On Labor Day

We invite all of you up to the farm to help us harvest the potato crop on Labor Day starting at 9:00 am. This is a longstanding farm tradition and a great way to chat with neighbors old or new along with the farm crew while we pickup a few tons of potatoes. We have a vintage potato digger that will lift the roots and drop them on top of the soil where we can come through with buckets and bins to collect. Its a great time and for a few hours you and your family can get your hands dirty shoulder to shoulder with the crew. Here's a link to find the field.

Fall Comes and So Do the Fall Crops

Winter squash harvest began this week and it looks to be a good one. The crew spent Friday Afternoon pulling in most of the delicata crop. About 5500 lbs so far. Acorns are next then butternut and so on. Look for these to be available in your shares starting next week after a week in the greenhouse curing.
