FOR SCHEDULE CHANGES BEFORE YOU COME TO BE SURE WE ARE OPEN! Thank you everyone for the SHARES and participating in our farm fun!

Freedom Thornless Blackberries are our earliest-ripening of the seven varieties we grow.

Yellow crookneck squash are loaded for picking.

Green zucchini can be prepared in a multitude of recipes!

Oat plants just to the left of the zinnias. These are oats just like you eat in oatmeal, but we plant them as a winter cover crop and till them in when they go to seed, as you see here. Cover crops are an important part of our soil regeneration program.

Sunflowers in many different sizes and color combos this year! Sunflowers are not priced per stem as they have been in the past, just cut them and put them in the $5 Solo cup with the other flowers!

Green onions just like these will be for sale prepicked in the market. A different variety (multiplying) of Green Onions is available for U-Pick.

Brighten up your bouquet with Bachelor Buttons!
