Summer 2014

For July and August You-pick is open Thursdays through Mondays from 7:30am to 3:00pm.  We hope to have blueberries through the second week of August and a little beyond.  Expect lavender Spring through Fall along with many of the flowers and herbs.  Pumpkins and gourds will be ready in the pumpkin patch some time in September and through October.  It is always best to call ahead to make sure the crop you want is currently abundant.  (518)285-9039

Flowers, flowers, flowers … both fresh and dried.

Calendula blossoms – our you-pick flowers are now easy to reach near the shop.

Basil is bountiful, and we are maxing out on pesto from the basil.

It’s a good thing we planted too much basil, because it is very popular, and we are keeping up with demand.

Rosemary thinks it’s a weed in our fields.  The well-drained soil seems to be perfect for herbs, especially rosemary.  We use it fresh on vegetables, including potatoes, and in salads.  So fragrant, so good.

My family loves using fresh rosemary on gently sauted sliced potatoes.  It adds a wonderful flavor.

The sweet, sweet yellow cherry tomatoes seem to sell as fast as we pick them.  We are blessed with elegant eggplant and healthy red and white onions.  Cucumbers are now a wonderful size, not too big and and not seedy.

We were lucky to find this variety of gold cherry tomato that does not crack easily.  On the other hand, the farmers feel free to eat the ones that crack and save the whole ones for the farm stand.  As a result of this quality, we farmers have not been eating too many of these little sweet tomatoes this year.  Oh, well.
