Please remember to place your orders on time as late orders can be a disruption to all of the farms involved.

The season change has gone from a late warmish trend with our first frost up here on the hill just 2 days ago. Now all of a sudden, it's in the 30's each night and downright chilly and damp each day! Working in the walk-in freezer has been a real thrill with the heat not yet turned on in our north barn where all the packing activity happens. I was able to harvest the last of the basil  before the frost and had a giant pesto project the other morning with me furiously picking leaves off the stalks and the blender whirring and a wonderful aroma enveloping the house.  The garden clean up is looming soon. The kale, Swiss chard, leeks, broccoli and parsley are very happy to be chilled but now that the root cellar is chilled, they'll soon be sleeping in the dark waiting for the comfort food meals of cold weather.
