As of November 1st, the farm stand is closed for the season.
It’s been a great growing season! Thank you for your support of our small farm.
We’re still busy over here preparing for Spring and in addition, we are building our dream home…a geodesic dome!

The farm stand opens this weekend! We have a brand new stand (after straight-line winds destroyed our original stand last year) and it is bigger and better than ever!
Here’s what we are harvesting:
The spring veggies look great and the summer plantings are coming along! The bugs haven’t destroyed crops just yet, so things are growing! It looks like we might get a good zucchini harvest this year (the last two years have been terrible).

The farm stand is closed, but we’re still growing! Here’s what we are harvesting:
The days are getting longer and the high tunnel winter vegetables have started growing again! Planting continues in the high tunnel for the early Spring greens.

The high tunnel is still producing great veggies!

The high tunnel quickly became my favorite place to grow! All through winter, we’ve enjoyed kale, collards, lettuce, and more. Aside from that one time when I got locked in, it’s a keeper!

| Scientific Name | Cucurbita pepo |
| Growing Days | 90 |
| Varieties We Grow | It’s just “Spaghetti” |
| Growing Notes | Spaghetti squash does great on a trellis (as long as it is a strong one). Give it lots of room to grow! |
| Battle of the Bugs | The squash bugs, squash vine borers, and cucumber beetles have destroyed our crop for two years in a row. They are relentless. |
| Fun Fact | The fun part of spaghetti squash is that when you use a fork to scrape it out of the skin, it really does look like spaghetti! |
| Don’t Waste It! | Bake it or roast it. Don’t forget to roast the seeds too! |
| Scientific Name | Cucurbita argyrosperma |
| Growing Days | 115 |
| Varieties We Grow | Green Striped Cushaw |
| Growing Notes | This cushaw squash gets big. Give it lots and lots of room to grow! Put something under the squash to keep it from rotting on the ground. |
| Battle of the Bugs | This type of squash is resistant to the squash vine borer, so it’s much hardier than most squash plants. |
| Fun Fact | This squash can get over 20 pounds! |
| Don’t Waste It! | Bake it or roast it. Use it as a pumpkin pie alternative. Don’t forget to roast the seeds too! |
