Through chilly mornings and hot afternoons, our crews across the farm are keeping things rolling all summer long to pack your share with incredible fresh produce! This week, green beans are making their CSA debut alongside sweet cherry tomatoes, tender summer squash, and other familiar favorites.

There are still plenty of berries and flowers out in the fields for the picking! Whether you are filling a basket with berries or building your own bouquet, you-pick is a great summer activity for all ages. If you haven’t checked out our you-pick yet it’s not too late, just swing by during our marketstand hours and we’ll provide you with everything you need. It’s always special to be able to spend some time exploring the farm, we hope to see you soon!

We have fleece! Sheepskins from our very own sheep are now for sale at the marketstand for $300 a piece. These skins can serve as great rugs or chair throws, and we have a variety of colors to suit your preference!
