Cucumbers are ripening, so the supply should be good.
Tomatoes grown early in the greenhouse are not doing well, so the supply has been limited. The later crop looks better and a few are beginning to ripen. The varieties we have are Big beef, Brandywine, Granadero Plum, and a yellow heirloom called Valencia.
Cherry tomatoes are ripening very slowly, so supplies are low right now. This should change soon.
Potatoes are doing well. The red potatoes and Kennebec white potatoes are looking good. Russets and Yukon Gold will be harvested this week. Fingerlings are out of production for now.
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.
