Closed This Week


Volume is still low on all three farms because winter crops are growing slowly. Consequently, we are closed again this week for restaurant sales.

Planted last week: cress, ‘Chioggia’ (candy stripe) beets, ‘Winterbor’ kale. We will forecast crop harvest after germination occurs. Chard was cut back hard to combat heavy caterpillar invasion. Re-growth will be slow in the cooler weather. More greens to be planted weekly.

A killing frost has not occurred yet at the Barking Cat Farm nursery, so sweet peppers are still alive. We may have some available next week for sale.

With the odd Fall weather we have had, we expect crop volume to continue to be erratic. We will continue to do the best we can, and we greatly appreciate your patience and support.
