Zucchini crop was short lived. Last year we were giving bushels to the cows and pigs next store. This year they were hit hard by squash beetles and they seem unwilling to supply much fruit. Maybe next week.
Cherry tomatoes and starting to show.
Regular tomatoes are in short supply. They are just not producing well this season so far. There are many still coming so I hope that changes.
The best days for pick up orders at the farm are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the week we are picking for farmers markets and its more difficult to find the time to pick for orders, especially with the worker shortage. Our customized “you decide” CSA is very time consuming when there are worker shortages.
Milford Farmers market is Saturday on Elm Street, Milford, across from the antique shop, and the Agway. Hours are 10-1PM.
Peterborough farmers market is Wednesday 3-6 PM at the Peterborough Community Center.
Francestown Community Market is Friday from 4-6:30PM at the sheds in Francestown.
