Whats Happening At the Farm
So. We have, all of us, made it to that time in the season when the balance between what we have grown on the farm and what we must buy at the supermarket begins shifting much more noticeably. The greens of spring and the perennial herbs are still faithfully producing, but are now accompanied by an ever-expanding host of fruits, roots, flowers and leaves.

I would love to post some of the delicious recipes on our website-if you brought a potluck dish, please email me the recipe! We also enjoyed music by Charles, Reiny, Sam and Eric, and delicious homebrew by Matt and Matt. The dishes in the Strawberry Cook-off were a masterful blend of sweets and savories… Read the rest of this entry »

Well, looks like we go from cool spring to full on summer in the blink of an eye! As I type this, sweating profusely even with fans blowing on me, I try and remember harvest day last Wednesday, when my insulated pants, wool socks, sweatshirt and jacket were not enough to keep me from being chilled! That’s the roller coaster ride that is farming-you just can’t predict what the season will bring you! All you new members, get ready for a crazy ride as you see what the land and weather of Suffolk county can yield each week!
