PICNIC IN THE FIELDS: Picnic in the Fields is this Sunday, September 26th! Get your tickets now! Our annual fall fundraiser is back this year with catering by Miller's Smorgasbord, a Taste of Homefields presented by Chefs Brooke Magni and Oliver Saye, a farmer's cocktail created by Farmer Kelly, live music by Over Easy, a silent auction and 50/50 raffle, activities for kids and so much more! More info and tickets can be purchased here.  

FARM UPDATE: This week we're focusing on more field cleanup and preparations for the Picnic. Fall officially begins this week and fall means pumpkins! Our pumpkin crop suffered some damage due to an abundance of rain in August and an overwhelming number of squash bugs, but we planted more than we thought we'd need so we'll have plenty for shareholders. This week we have New England Pie pumpkins which, true to their name, are great for pies as well as other baking and cooking.  

Thank you for your support!

Your farmers, 
Katie, Elizabeth, Brad, Christina, Kelly, Matt and Nate
