Here Is What We Do
In 2021 we hope to open with
- greens, maple syrup, and the first fruits of our vines by Memorial Day. We should then have
- tomatoes and veggies by Fourth of July,
- sweet corn by mid-July,
- honey by end of July,
- peaches by mid-August,
- pumpkins and squash by Labor Day,
- hops and barley (and perhaps their first fruit, too) by end of September, and
- cider, hard and fresh, by mid-October.
Here is more of what we do
There will be special sale days in the spring …
if the morels and the ramps cooperate.
Maple Syrup
Honey
Wine Grapes
Hops
Apples (for Cider)
Pumpkins (for cooking & decoration)
This is where we grow our produce, and where we process and store it
The Vegetable Garden

Finally, An Invitation
We are interested in providing a limited number of outdoor tent-covered tables for our neighbors on or near 1000 N to sell their own wares while we are open.
Good things might happen for us all.
Turning a Farm Stand into a Farmers Market is a bit more complicated than turning on a light, but it can be done if there is sufficient will to make it happen, and then to keep it going.
