Fall Colors are gracing us all about..Not only the trees, which are beautiful, but the fall veggies, summer veggies that just won’t stop & cover crops & field flowers too!
Tuesday, October 1st will be our last time at the outdoor Summer Northfield Farmers Market! We’ll have lovely meats, fall veggies — including TOMATOES!!– and a new batch of dog treats!
AND we will be leading a Hands on Veggie Kraut Making demo at the market starting at 4 pm.
Fermented Veggies are both delicious and great for supporting your microbiome. Pick & choose a mix of cabbage, root vegetables & herbs to make a custom kraut. Join us for some fun squishing veggies!
Been fun to be hosting a series of Fall Foliage Bus Tours once again this Fall, giving folks from around the country & world a view not only of Vermont’s foliage but also a good Farm Soak. A visit filled with information & delights for all of their senses, including a totally Localvore lunch. So wonderful to have Farms in the forefront of foliage views, not just in the background!
We don’t want just the bus tour visitors to experience the farm in its Fall glory, so we are hosting a Fall Farm Tour & Tasting on Saturday, October 12th from 1-3pm. Come enjoy a farm tour – wish our pregnant pigs good luck or perhaps there will already be piglets, see the Climate Farmer Stories Exhibit in our Greenhouse & we’ll have some Fall tastings in the Farmstand. Tours are free with a purchase at the Farmstand.
AND the Farmstand is open through October Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 7 pm so that you can put some of these fall colors on your table!
And as the temps start to cool and you are thinking about the holidays. We do have some turkeys left for sale. Our turkeys are raised under organic and regenerative farming principles. Meaning we: move them to fresh pasture every few days & feed them certified organic grain.
For those of you who’ve been buying our turkeys for over decade, you know our practice of finishing the turkeys on lush grass in the Summer and freezing them for the holidays. We move our turkeys every few days and they chow grass, seeds and bugs, which reduces their reliance on grain and makes them tasty, juicy & nutritious, they also eat a lot of organic grain. And that is a place for their health, our health & the future of our planet that we are not willing to compromise.
