Marigold Bouquets and Farm Tour this Weekend
We’ll have a lovely surprise for you at the Farm Stand on Saturday: marigold bouquets! There will be a limited amount of bouquets made with our orange and yellow marigold flowers grown in the high tunnel. These bouquets are the perfect way to add some color to your home. Or, you can give them to your favorite valentine! Since we have a limited amount, we highly recommend getting there early on Saturday if you would like to take one home! The in-person Farm Stand is open from 9am-noon on Saturday.
If you’re planning on stopping by the Farm Stand on Saturday, we highly recommend sticking around for our monthly Farm Tour at 10:30am. We’ll be discussing all of the spring crops we’ve seeded thus far in the greenhouse and what you can expect to see in the coming weeks. You’ll also have the chance to see some of the exciting new crops we’ve been planting and ask us any questions you might have. Our Farm Tours are open to the public and free of charge so we hope to see you there!
Thanks to some experimentation last year, we’re trialing a crop of artichokes again this year! Even though we weren’t able to harvest any artichokes last year before summer set in, we learned a lot and are excited to try again. This year, we transplanted them much earlier so that they have plenty of cool days to grow and produce. The variety we’re growing (below) is called “Imperial Star” and it will produce green artichokes. We are excited to see how they do and will keep you updated on their progress.
In Season at the Farm Stand: Kale, Collard Greens, Salad Mix, Carrots, Fennel, Watermelon Radish, Kohlrabi, Purple Cauliflower, and Orange Cauliflower.
