Today is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and we sure have been keeping busy here on the farm with harvesting, planting, weeding, and tending the crops as spring turns into summer.
Our farmstand shelves are bursting with delicious fresh produce these days: lettuce and radishes for your salads, bok choy and snow peas for your stir-fries, and baby carrots and sugar snap peas for your snacks. Plus beautiful red and golden beets, colorful rainbow chard, green and golden zucchini, several varieties of kale, huge heads of spring broccoli, early greenhouse cucumbers, sweet spring onions, and more– our offerings change every day depending on what’s in season in our fields. We are still getting some beautiful strawberries in, but the season is winding down (soon to switch over to blueberries!) so come by this week to enjoy the last of the berries for the spring.
We also have recently welcomed some new members to our farm family: six beautiful chickens! We’re very happy to have such sweet, friendly hens, and they’ve been doing a great job eating bugs and laying eggs. Come visit the chickens next time you’re at the farm.
And last but not least we’d like to invite you to join us at ourMid-Summer Farm Celebration on July 16! Join us and Land For Good, a nonprofit organization that works to preserve active farmland in New England, for an evening featuring a delicious casual dinner made from our own produce, along with wine and hay rides.
