Happy fall everyone!

With the equinox heralding a change in seasons, fall is in full swing here on the farm. We have pumpkins for sale, fresh apple cider from our cider press, and are making final preparations for our Fall Festival!

Fall festival starts this week on Friday (9/27/2024) and will run all the way through the month of October. We will have our market stand open Tuesday-Sunday, and will have a pumpkin patch, tractor rides, and treats available to all on the weekends. If you plan on coming out to the farm during our Fall Festival weekends, we would appreciate it if you could reserve a parking spot online.  You can make your reservations here: Fall Festival. Looking forward to seeing you all out here soon!

We have one week left of our Summer CSA - what an amazing season it’s been! Whole Farm CSA will keep running and will be packed in boxes during the month of October. If you want to get veggies from us this winter, our Winter CSA is now on sale. Our Winter CSA season will run from Nov 6-January 29. Sign up today!

Our CSA boxes this week will help you kick off your fall season right with squash, potatoes, carrots, and onions! They also contain a few last summer treats, like melons and aronia berries. Aronia berries look similar to blueberries, but have more of a bitter flavor, similar to that of a choke cherry. These berries are PACKED with antioxidants (even more so than blueberries!) and are considered a superfood. Try adding them to your morning smoothie or yogurt bowl, or make them into a delicious jam (see recipe below)!
