We were very fortunate with these past few storms. We have not lost power and had minimal damage. What a way to end the season. Effective November 1st, we will be open only on the weekends.
Yes, we are still picking sweet corn and it tastes Great! We do have some pumpkins and apples. Don't forget corn stalks and straw for your fall decorating.
Don't forget this Sunday, Sept. 25th, is the Greater Lehigh Valley BFBL Taste of the Valley. Check it out on the BFBL website. This year there are two regular seatings, the VIP seating, and guest judges. Great way to end September's Buy Fresh Challenge.
Just a reminder this Saturday, Sept. 17th we are presenting "What's Orgainc About Organinc" here at the farm. The time is 7-9pm. Admission is a finger food from local ingredients to share and bring your own chair. We will be indoors so it is rain or shine!
They are slow, but the tomatoes are coming in. We have red, yello, pink, cherry, and sauce types. The heirlooms are not doing as well. Hot peppers are turning color, including the ghost peppers.
Well, we survived. Thank you to my customers for understanding why we closed for the day. We lost branches and a tree fell across the road, so driving conditions weren't the best. I must admit, tho, I don't understand people. The downed tree is(was) laying across active (hot) power lines and despite cones blocking the way, people drove UNDERNEATH rather than detour. Well, we are safe and still have our electric.
Sweet corn is in, again. We are now picking our specialty melons, cantelope, and water melons. We have managed to stay ahead of the fruit thieves for now so we have yellow and white peaches. Check out the BFBL-GLV website for info about the Buy Fresh Challenge and Taste of the Valley event at the Melt. We will also be showing a movie here at the farm on Sept. 17th at 7pm. More details to follow.
The sweet corn isn't in quite yet but should be soon. Garlic harvest is done. Now on the the onions. Tomatoes are finally ripening and peppers and eggplant look good.
Peaches are in but we are short one tree. Someone helped themselves to one of our peaches, not only the ripe ones but the green ones! Fortunately we have plenty more.
