The Licensed Kitchen is complete!! Our experimental chef is out there working on new products for the customers to enjoy. Our policy is to use local ingredients whenever possible to create the products we sell. We are currently working on a few new products so keep your eyes open…hummus and kombucha are in the line up. If you have any suggestions or any products you would like to see please let us know

It is the time of year that the growers close up their hoop-houses to protect the plants from the frost. Also the ground is being worked so that fall cover crops can be sowed and plowed under next spring to help add organic matter to the soil.
Inside work continues as we prepare for new plantings, in one hoop house all the beds are changing direction so that we can do smaller plantings more often and more variety.
The clover is actually a cover crop, it is good for the bees and beneficial insects as well as it competes well with unwanted weeds and adds nutrients to the soil. As always it is nice to see the periodic 4-leaf clover, as often time farming seems like luck when we are at the mercy of the weather.
