You can snip your own herbs, and we also have them available at the farm stand. Through August we will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 7:30 to 3:00 (until 6:00) on Fridays.

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

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

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.
If people are interested we will schedule workshops on crafting your own dried flower arrangements. Please email and tell us if you are interested.

It’s a good idea to prune your blueberries in winter and complete the process by early April. We show you the basic principles and the preferred tools. Once you have the idea and have watched the pruning demonstration, you get a chance to tell us how to prune a bush and try out your new skills.
Some people are interested in pruning for blueberry production so that they can continue to harvest a lot of berries, and others want to prune for ornamental or other reasons. Bring your ideas to the workshop.
There is NO CHARGE for attending and everyone interested is welcome. Please RSVP – we need to know how many people to expect.
See you in the blueberry field, 1176 Babcock Lake Rd, Hoosick Falls, NY.

Starting with Dobro, at six years old, for the first time trying out a saddle. He looks happy enough for a new experience!
Thank you, Dobro, for being so calm and responsive.
And thanks, also, to Steve Edwards of Queen Valley Mule Ranch for training the rider. Dobro already knew what to do.
We introduced wool do-it-yourself kits at craft fairs before the holidays. Amy demonstrated how to make wool earrings from our new kit at the Cambridge, NY Holiday Craft Fair.
We also introduced a new Crochet Your Own Striped Hat.
We love the beautiful fleece from May, Amelia, and Sky.
Another exciting change is our newly-started project growing Shiitake mushrooms, using hardwoods on the farm and help from the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York workshops. Dan is checking out this site under the shade of hemlock trees
and well out of the wind.
We plan to write about the changes as they happen in the coming weeks.
