Farm2Table Cycle 2016

Foodie and Cycling Lovers:
Holly and Peter McMaster at Competitive Gear doubled down and they are hooking up our area's farm, foodie, and bicycling aficionados for TWO days of fun and food.

Last year was a blast & we are gearing up for this year!
Two routes are planned. Your choice of either 25, or 45 miles beginning and ending at our farm.

We are offering 2 separate rides this year, Saturday and/or Sunday, and have moved the date further out in the summer in effort to capture the height of blueberry season...and of course to take advantage of as much of the bounty the garden produces this time of year.

So, Save the date, or dates if you are so inclined.

Saturday August 6th

Sunday August 7th

Below are a few photos from last year's ride. Please contact the farm, or Competitive Gear for additional information, or to sign up for this year.

2016 CSA

Full season members:

Please remember to return your bin each week.

This week's shares will include Certified Organic Broccoli, Patty Pan Squash, Garlic Scapes, and Green Lollo Lettuce.

Garlic Scapes

The Scapes included this week are the stalks of the garlic plant. All parts of a garlic plant are edible. The scapes can be used in any dish in which you would normally use garlic or scallions. A simple way to go is to lightly oil them, then cook them on the grill like

any other veggie.

Available at the Farm Store

Seasonal Treat

We just received a fresh shipment of Beelzebub's Strawberry Salsa, as well as the regular lineup of Eric's fine products

Are Farmers Markets Losing Their Appeal To Growers?

Brick Oven Pizza

One farm marketer called it the "Wegman's effect." Customers have grown so accustomed to grocery stores doing everything for them, they expect everyone else to do likewise.
