Farm Happenings at Strawberry Hill Farm
Paste Tomatoes for Delicious Sauce
The sun’s been shining, and the tomatoes are responding with lots of fruit! This week on the farm stand we have several pecks of paste tomatoes: Roma, San Marzano, and Amish Paste. Their meaty flesh is great for making sauce to eat fresh or to can or freeze for winter.

More Tomatoes, More Raspberries
Our tomatoes and raspberries are loving the sunshine and producing lots of fruit! We have plenty of them on the farm stand this week. Also lots of red beets, kale, and garlic.

Raspberry Time Again!
The fall crop of raspberries is in full swing, and the berries are enjoying the sunshine! We have plenty of pints available this week.
We also have lots of tomatoes, especially the Damsel regular red tomatoes, which are really producing. They're sweet and just the right size for sandwich slices. Al1 read more »

New Potatoes
Despite having lots of rain in the past week and soggy gardens, Ron has managed to dig some new potatoes from our crop. We have a limited amount of Red Norland and Carola potatoes on the farm stand this week. Because they’re young and thin-skinned, they won’t store for long, so plan to1 read more »
Lots of Zucchini!
Wow, what a rainstorm we had last night! We received 2½ inches of rain in half an hour, plus another half-inch after that. Some crops aren’t happy about it, but the zucchini and summer squash like a lot of moisture. Right now there’s a lot of zucchini on the farm stand.

Produce is picking up at the farm, with more crops ripening each week. This week we have lots of zucchini, and the first of our green beans.
