The real fall weather has finally arrived! Colder nights and less sunlight on the farm, but things are still growing well. Good news! We will be joining the Bedford farmers market on Tuesdays for the remainder of the season (4 more markets). This week only, if you come out and visit us at the Bedford market on Tuesday from 3-6pm at Murphy’s Taproom with a purchase of $10 or more you will get your choice of a free sweet pepper or jalapeño peppers. Stop by and say hi!

Still lots of great vegetables coming in that will be ready for harvest in the next month. Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and a second crop of new potatoes are all on the way and growing beautifully. Kale, carrots, chard, beets, spinach, and radishes will all grow through the colder months coming and provide us with great, hearty fall vegetable recipes.

The farmers market season is drawing to a close, we have just three more Saturday markets in Milford and four more Tuesday markets in Bedford. The Peterborough farmers market will remain outside through October 23, and then move indoors in the community center the following week with reduced hours from 3-5pm.

What a nice little last hurrah of summer weather we got this week. Even though September is in full swing now and fall is on everyone’s mind, the abundance of harvest season is still not over on The Ledge. We have plenty of great, naturally grown produce available and lots more still on the way. Our winter squash crop is producing beautifully with plenty of butternut, delicata, acorn squash, and sugar pumpkins coming in and many more on the way. We have damaged winter squash that are available for order as well, these squash have minor cosmetic damages that don’t affect the quality of the produce within. Inquire about picking up some damaged squash when you place your order.

It was the year of sweet peppers on the farm! The intense heat this summer wasn’t great for everything, but our pepper crop sure loved it. We have beautiful and large sweet red, yellow, and green peppers available; perfect for stuffed peppers! We have gotten rave reviews of the peppers all season long, get some while they’re at their peak.
