Farm News

Honey-lovers rejoice! As you can see above, goldenrod is in full bloom at the farm and honey bee activity is high. Beekeeper Al Machinski is anticipating a heavy flow of goldenrod honey, a honey that can range from a bright gold to quite dark in color and which is extremely aromatic and incredibly flavorful. We can't wait to start stocking Machiniski's local, raw goldenrod honey in the Farm Store.

This week we're happy to begin offering two excellent, seasonal, flavored coffees from Edinboro's Happy Mug Coffee. Locally roasted by Happy Mug owner Matt Shay, they're delightful compliments to crisp fall days. According to Shay, Apple Pie is a smooth, sweet coffee with a hint of fresh, juicy apples and Pumpkin is akin to creamy warm pumpkin pie in your coffee mug, almost enough to make someone who doesn't like coffee change their mind. These limited-time coffees are available while supplies last at the Saturday Store. Stop out and pick some up!

Kidz Sudz Unscented Castile Soap

We're also very excited to announce another new product in the rapidly expanding Fresh Little Farm Girl line of natural home and bodycare products. Fresh Little Farm Girl Kidz Sudz Unscented Castile Liquid Soap is made with 100% organic ingredients and nothing more. Organic coconut, olive, and jojoba oils, as well as organic aloe vera and organic rosemary extract combine to create a pure, gentle, and extremely versatile soap. Use it for hands and body, dishes, floors and carpets, almost anything. 



As a reminder, we have a limited supply of Hunter Farms Organic Pickled Asparagus grown here at the farm and pickled using a unique recipe custom-created for Hunter Farms by Beelzebub Salsa's Eric Laughery. It's a twist on asparagus you won't soon forget. A little sweet, a little spicy, and incredibly full of flavor, we think it's a winning combination.
