Getting ready for spring!

While outside things are still getting buttoned up for the winter, inside we are getting ready for next season. We have been making gallons of Apple Cider Vinegar from our own organic apples - and I must say, the best apples ever! We hope to have a long line of gluten free items such as this vinegar.

Wally has been waiting all summer for this moment... he planted, tended, harvested, dried and here he is preparing his long awaited organic popcorn - and boy was it worth the wait!  So very tasty indeed!  He has promised to grow a much bigger field next year as it was well worth all the work. With any luck we will still have some in the spring to sell, that is, if it hasn't been all eaten by then...

PS if anyone would like our organic free range eggs, just ring the doorbell, the girls are still going strong this time of year!

The Farm Stand is Open!

We are stocking fresh on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays with deliveries to Derry and Londonderry on Mondays by request.  Call for special orders on other days and we will be happy to accommodate. Our farm stand is self serve so come anytime on these days.  Today we picked bell peppers, carrots, basil, roma tomatoes, cucumbers, romaine lettuce, beets, summer squash, zucchini, and crookneck squash. Come on by!

Piglets, piglets everywhere

We have 3 litters of piglets and what a great time of year to have them around. We get to see a lot of genuine pig piles! Come and see them and pick up some veggies. We have romaine lettuce, beets with greens (two servings of vegetables for the price of one!), zucchini, zucchini flowers (gotta fry'em!) crookneck summer squash (sweeter than traditional), traditional summer squash and spinach. See our busy farmer recipes posted here.

Watch out if you visit, you might get drafted!

Many hands make light work and everyone, even the littlest pitches in with the hay.

Hardworking crew

New - Bees

While we are continuing to keep bees at Steve Normanton's Farm, we decided to get some new bees for our own farm. All hives are starting off very strong this year.  The queens are very busy so we decided to give them some sugar water (organic of course!) for the worker bees to use to pull out comb on the frames. This will allow the queen to have a place to lay her eggs much faster.  As they fill up the frames with more bees and honey, we will be adding a box on top until that one is full. Bees like to build their colony from the bottom up and while the hives looks a little short now, they will be tall hives by summer's end.

It's a family affair...

All hands on deck - especially on a windy day. We recruited kids, neighbors, nieces and nephews to layout and shovel dirt along the entire edge of the row covers. We could get an attachment for our tractor but then everyone would miss out on the fun!

New pigs on the block!

After a long delivery Rosie's piglets arrived, happy and healthy

Strawberry Fields

Now that "the girls" have done their job tilling up the soil , preparing the new strawberry beds were easy. The pigs certainly do the heavy lifting in no time at all!

Meet the Girls...

Introducing Rosary or "Rosie" for short, Starlight, Isabelle and Tulip all affectionately named by our two youngest girls. Rosie and Star are in a "piggy way" and we should have little piglets running around in a couple of weeks.  Isabelle and Tulip are searching for their suitor.

We have a new home

We are moving! After 3 years of looking, 4 offers, and many ups and downs we have finally found the place to dig in to - literally.  We are back up and running and will be ready to serve you this season. While we look forward to breaking ground and bringing this farm back to life, we will not be committing to the traditional CSA. Instead as a THANK YOU for your patience and in an effort to establish ourselves in a new community, we will be offering you weekly organic vegetable packages for a discounted price for this season only. Packages will be limited so it will be first come first serve. If you want to reserve these packages, please send us an email. We will also be offering some items a la carte. We will do our best to keep information about what we have available and when, through our website.  We look forward to serving you!
