Farm Update


We will be open Saturday 9-noon only.  Eggs and honey anytime by the honor system.  If you can't make it Saturday simply give us a call to come and see us!

We are disappointed to say that it looks like the 2013 corn season is over.  We were hoping for one more gasp of corn this weekend, but not gonna happen.  We do have good news though...our summer squash experiment is really working.  Thanks to the hot Autumn, our Zucchini plants are blooming and setting fruit.  Although I haven't seen any bees for a month, it doesn't look like my pollinating services will be needed this time.  (for you newcomers to the newsletter my pollinating services became world renown last spring) Did you ever think you could have fresh Zucchini in October!?  Did you ever really want fresh Zucchini in October!?  Well, we had extra seeds so we thought we would give it a try and it looks like it's going to work.  The cucumbers are coming much slower, but that may happen too!  Keep in mind that as the season comes to a close we will be open less and less, but you can always call us if you can't make it Saturday morning.  410-215-6776.

We planted a type of radish that we have never tried before called "cherriette".  It seemed in the past few years that all the radishes we planted were so hot they would have you breathing fire after one bite.  The cherriettes are perfect spheres of ruby red glory and much milder than there predecessors.  I love them and show them off any chance I get.  Vicky thinks that growing radishes is a waste of time and space.  Of course, every time we sell a bunch of radishes I come strutting into the house, "Sold another bunch of the radishes.  Yup, selling like hotcakes!!"

This Saturday morning's bounty:

Butternut Squash

See you soon!

Locally yours,
Vicky and Steve
