September 10: If you love a great picture in the country, join us Saturday for tractor rides to the sunflower field! We have a new field of sunflowers overlooking our big pond and the hidden valley near the back of the farm. Take a long ride to the patch, relax in the flowers, and bring home 8 stems for just $5.
There will be no PYO apples this weekend but raspberries are available for daily PYO now with good conditions. We have both red and golden raspberries. The season seems to have been a little late this fall, but the weather has been very good for them lately and we expect to have them into October.
Our watermelons are still in good supply, as well as our own sweet corn which is at the peak of its season. To celebrate, we have a sale going on: just $5/doz for 3 dozen or more. This is our best sweet corn of the year at the best price, so don’t miss this chance to put some in the freezer.
Apples at the market now include Honeycrisp, Gala, Ruby Mac, Summerset, Autumn Crisp, and Crimson Crisp. We have a limited supply of Crimson Crisp this year, so they won’t last long. We do have a good supply of horse apples right now at $14 a bushel (40lb).
Our Gem pears are now available. Gem is a special pear because it tastes great when eaten hard like an apple or Asian pear. But it can soften and be eaten like a European pear. We still have a good supply of Magness - one of the best pears available.
Produce at the market this weekend includes romaine lettuce, colored peppers, yellow squash, red beets, green beans, carrots, garlic, candy onions, white potatoes, slicing tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, grape tomatoes,
