Thanks to all for supporting local farms and musicians who go all out. It was a treat to host a great crowd and as always an inspiration to have Scrag Mountain Music at the farm. May you all continue to support this broad range of local efforts.

Radiating Influence
May 31, 2017 – 9:40 pm
A visit from “retreating” (advancing?) members of the Intervale’s Board of Directors last week gave us a refreshing opportunity to reflect in the middle of an action-packed week. We left the exchange inspired by the conversations. We were asked “How has the work of the Intervale Center influenced your farm?” First of all, Intervale’s slogan […]

Spring Abundance
May 15, 2017 – 7:11 pm
Yes, it is that time. Late Spring Abundance. Now, it isn’t the late summer abundance with colors across the rainbow, but the diversity is great, the colors are magnificent and yes, it is time to “Eat Your Greens.” We hope you enjoy them..the campaign is on! And yes, we are forever grateful for the inspiring […]
Dancing with Nature
May 9, 2017 – 10:28 am
Our ecological approach to farming has its benefits and its drawbacks. This week we found some of both. Happily our farm seems to be great habitat for birds and with Spring migration, we are seeing the return of many. Unfortunately, one of the pairs of kildeer chose a nesting spot right where the onions […]
Peas, Louise and her vole relatives
May 3, 2017 – 2:09 pm
Six years ago, before we had given up growing snap peas for sale, vole activity (read eating of pea seeds) triggered the creation of one of our favorite farm Limericks by Liva Coe. There once was a vole named Louise Who had quite a penchant for peas I planted them thrice Louise said, “How nice!” […]
Eat Your Greens…and Flowers!
April 27, 2017 – 8:01 am
This week you can jazz up your salads with some beautiful, colorful and fragrant flowers. We had a great time harvesting some with Chef Lee Duberman for Ariel’s Restaurant Week Menu (Yep they are back from Mexico and OPEN!). You can get them there as well as […]

Some of our more enthusiastic young shoppers getting their veggies at the farmstand! We love sending our healthy, fresh veggies home with everyone, but it does warm our heart an extra bit to be feeding lots of young growing kids. Thanks Zoe, Graham and Becca & Nathan too!
Green, a popular color
April 13, 2017 – 9:37 am
This week, farm life, is brought to you by the color green. Granted we can’t really see any green in our outside fields yet…just the very first hint where the snow has melted. And of course where the first chervil plants are poking up..it is that time of year! But we are flush with green […]
Dreaming of Summer Fruit
April 5, 2017 – 7:11 pm
This has been a week to get further inspired about our maturing orchard. Yes, we do have a small orchard. Our farmstand offerings have been modest thus far, a few offerings of fresh apples, plums & currants, applesauce, plum sauce, black currant coulis, elderflower tea and a few other specialized items. But our (and the orchard’s) […]

Back to the Farm Room
March 30, 2017 – 8:47 am
This week included some time back in our farm processing room. The results are tasty and satisfying. We have let the room be quiet for some time this winter to allow farmers time to rest, reflect and get to some other projects. But it has been calling, promising more sausage, soups, pickles….and we answered the […]
