News From the Farm
Tomatoes and Melons are in!
July 27, 2010
Our much-anticipated Tomatoes have just burgeoned, with a full array of heirloom and hybrid types in a rainbow of colors. Our squash (zucchini, yellow zucchini, patty pan, mid-east, and yellow squash) and cucumbers (slicers, picklers, burpless, and Asian) are in full swing, along with cucumbers-- Asian, slicers, burpless, and picklers. We still have some loose leaf lettuce . Other greens include Swiss Chard, cabbage (savoy and arrowhead) and Curly Kale. Herbs include basil, parsley, and dill. Peppers are ripening to luscious red, yellow, and orange. We're bringing onions in to cure. Melons are very sweet and flavorful and abundant. Hopefully our second watermelons won't be decimated by crows and groundhogs-- we re-covered them to hide them from those pests.
Flowers available for special events!
July 28, 2010
We are having a great harvest of zinnias, sunflowers, ageratum, lemon and cinnamon basils, gomphrena, and others for bright flower bunches. Order flowers to pick up onthe farm or at market for your special events. We offer bunches and flowers by the stem. Everything is picked into a floral solution for maximum freshness, and if properly cared for, they'll last for a week or more. We also offer drying bunches of statice and strawflowers, and will be making swags of garlic, herbs, and dried flowers.
Shop on the farm for eggs, produce, flowers
June 1, 2010
Our unique on-farm self-serve stand in our green barn is up and running. Come to the farm Thursday afternoons-Saturday for the greatest variety of Waterpenny offerings, including vegetables, flowers (bunched on Thursday and Friday afternoons), and eggs laid by our pastured chickens, who eat Certified Organic feed and vegetables from the farm. We're closed on Sundays, and some produce, and eggs, can be found Monday-Wednesday. The stand is completely self-serve; park near the barn and read the signs which will point you to the produce. Weigh the produce, calculate the price and leave cash or a check in the box.
