Hi all,

Hope you are all having a good week. It sure feels like summer is rapidly coming to an end, doesn't it? Hope not too soon. The Melons are just starting up!

We are happy to have the Farm Stand at the White Barn. We are slowly getting organized. When you come out, feel free to drive out; just drive very slowly and watch out for dogs, children and grown ups too! We will have a more proper parking lot at some point but have other priories first; such as getting in the harvest.

Speaking of harvest, we've got so much stuff right now. Some I would urge you to come and get soon, such as the Fresh Shelling Beans. We have three varieties: Marrowfat, Black Coco and Cranberry. All three are spectacular. You can cook them separately or together for a beautiful dish. Last night we had the Black Coco mixed with the Marrowfat. I cooked them with sauteed onion/ garlic/chile for about 20 minutes and they were done. While cooking I added chopped squash and kale. Not only delicious but beautiful. I may have a sample at the Farm Stand today.

Here's most of what else we have: Strawberries, Heirloom Tomatoes, Red and Sungold Tomatoes, Roma Tomatoes, a bit of Lettuce, Kale, Chard, Sweet Red Onions, Garlic, Carrots including the huge Chantenay which are great for juicing, a few Beets, the three varieties of Shell Beans, Cucumbers, Lemon, Slicers and Armenian, Summer Squash varieties, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Kohlrabi, lots of Chiles and Sweet Peppers (glorious), a few Melons, Asian Greens, a few Bartlett Pears, Potatoes, lots of Sweet Corn (last batch of the season, a great one to freeze), Fennel, Eggplants, Padrones Peppers and ???????

Fresh PIckles, Sauerkraut, a new batch of Fresh Salsa, Hot Sauces, Dried/ Smoked Chiles, Dried Beans, Onions, Powders and more!!!

Do you paint? Come out and paint the barn, the garden, the field!

Hope to see you all at the good ol' Farmstand! Look for the White Barn. It is so happy to have been saved!!!

OPEN TUESDAY - FRIDAY 11 - 6 AND SATURDAY 10 - 4

Thanks,

Evie
