Fresh Honey Supply

Our Bee Keeper brought us a fresh batch of our honey and added a new option.

He bottled up a combination of comb & fluid honey.

Raw & Local Honey

Raw & Local
Comb/Fluid honey
$20.

Raw & Local Comb/Fluid Honey
$20.00

Comb/Fluid honey

Raw & Local fluid honey
1 pound in glass or plastic with dispenser lid
$13.

Raw & Local Comb Honey
$20.

Some believe that the comb is more nutritious than eating just the honey itself, as it contains a natural antibiotic, bee pollen, and large amounts of propolis.

We have raw honey that is produced on our organic farm.

While we can’t control where the bees from our hives choose to forage – 

we do provide them with plenty of great options! 

Our Farm yard is filled with organic vegetables, flowers, flowering trees & flowering cover crops. We also have 20 acres of pollinator habitat, 8 acres of Monarch butterfly habitat and the remainder of our fields are planted in grass and alfalfa. The alfalfa gets a lovely purple flower that the bees love. 

Honey is available by appointment & can be picked up in our Farmstand for the next few weeks (until it becomes too cold).

Preparing for Fall & Winter

 As the season changes to fall, it’s time to get ready for colder weather and an end to the fresh summer vegetables. We still have peppers, butternut squash, pumpkins for baking (and a few for decorating), garlic and some lovely succulents. 

Peppers can be easily preserved in your freezer, pickled and kept in your refrigerator or pickled and canned (still pretty easy).

Pumpkins can be baked/mashed & frozen or canned. 

Garlic can be stored for several months in your pantry or dry basement

Honey last forever – literally!

Our goatmilk soap will leave you skin clean without excessive drying – even when you’re washing your hands many times each day.

Body butter and lotion bars offer great protection from dry winter air inside and cold winter air outside.

And, easy to care for succulent plants to bring a little green into your fall/winter!

Please place your order for honey, soap & lotions ahead of coming out. They are never stocked in the Farmstand.

And – while they last – our medium size eggs for $ per 18 pack

Eggs are available in our Self-service Farmstand cooler. We collect them and re-stock every day. 

Our hens are on “Free Choice” pasture and are supplemented with certified organic feed. That means that they come and go as they please. They usually choose to be in the shade during the heat of the day. When they choose to be outside, you can see them from the Farmstand. However, they are protected from predators with an electric fence. So, we ask that you stay in the immediate area of the Farmstand. Two of our alpacas spend the summer with them for some added protection from flying predators. We have a pretty healthy hawk population and they seem to be deterred by the alpacas.

Time to plant the Potatoes

We have our potato bed prepared and have been working on cutting the seed potatoes into chunks for planting. Depending on the size of the set and the number and location of “eyes” sprouting – we get between 2 – 4 chunks from each potato. We like to have 2 eyes on each chunk but if you have a really robust eye, you can get away with 1.  We give them a couple of days after cutting to form a skin on the cut side. That prevents the potato chunks from rotting in the cool spring soil. 

You can expect to get between 6 and 13 pounds of potatoes from 1 pound of sets.

Sets are available in our Farmstand. We also have Grow Bags & organic soil if you don’t have a garden spot for them.

Available varieties are Austrian Crescent, Binjte, Rose Gold & Purple Viking

 

*We have info on growing potatoes under the Garden at Home tab.

Strawberry Plants

We are selling strawberry plants this year

*Plants will be in the Farmstand starting today until they are sold out.

Mara Des Bois strawberry was developed by a French breeding program. This variety produces small to medium fruit, and contains the highest flavor and fragrance of any everbearer. Berries have an attractive red color with a high gloss.  Planted in the spring, Mara Des Bois will produce fruit during the summer into the fall.  The following spring it also produces a good spring crop.  

APRIL 20th

APRIL 20th

We purchased bare root plants in late winter and planted them in organic soil. They have been growing in our organic greenhouse to give them a good head start for the season.

Strawberries are an easy plant to grow and you will get berries this year with this everbearing variety. You can either plant them in the ground, in a container or even in a hanging basket. I suggest 3 plants for a 10-14 inch container. If you’re planting in the ground, you can plant 12-18 inches apart in a row.

Growing in a 4 inch container for $3.50 each
