Unusual Farm Visit

We had an amazing visit from MEGAFOOD'S CEO, ROBERT CRAVEN.  For Robert's birthday, he decided he wanted to give rather than receive so he and some of his employees came by to support local family farming among other things.  When I saw that help was arriving, (at least that is how I saw it - you know how we are with our visitors by now...) we put him right to work. Since Megafood makes their vitamins from vegetables - farm to tablet, I thought Mr. Craven could plant beets.  He certainly earned his keep that day! There was so much about his visit that was special. Mr. Craven is really about helping people, and giving them access to real nutrition using real nutrients. Its not just about the vitamins though, they wiped out our farm stand - meats, greens, eggs, jellies, syrup, all our products and donated them to a food pantry!

Our organic certification requires detailed documentation and labeling of all our fields. Our fields are named after saints but in honor of all that Mr. Craven does to support the community and farmers we decided to name the new, virgin field that Robert worked on the Robert Craven Field. He is in good company with the saints! Thank you Robert for a beautiful day that will go down in TFO history!

Its Hay Day...

We were blessed today to have cool weather for hay day. Special thanks to our guest helper - Matt who is actually willing to come back tomorrow for the next round - that's the spirit!

What would we do without little helpers!

No person is too small or inexperienced to give us a helping hands. These little hands planted a couple hundred strawberry plants, dozens of raspberries bushes and more in the last two weeks and mulched them up with our own wood chips from last year's trees - only to reap the benefits next year! Thank you Thomas, DJ, Yaya, Jaz and Jam (driving the tractor) you guys rock!

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!

We will be starting the spring off with

OUR OWN MAPLE SYRUP!

Our first season has been GREAT and we would like to thank all of our WONDERFUL PATRONS!  We are looking forward to next season already and will be expanding our selections – delightfully!!!

The Harvest is Plentiful!

The bounty is big!  The list is just too long this week, you'll just have to come and see for yourselves.  And for you honey lovers... we are pulling our hives and honey will be available in about two weeks.

Eat fresh eat local!

We have lots of vegetables to choose from. Have you ever had a fresh onion?  Unless you've grown them yourself, it is not often you can have an onion from field to table.  We also have Esther's famous Pesto. One pint jar provides several servings and can be frozen.  Try one of Jam's Paradise Pears. Take a look at our list this week and come on by!

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.
