harvest time


This post expired on July 02, 2023.

Greetings,

Blueberries are beginning to show some color, tomatoes are turning in the greenhouse, cucumbers are sizing up, potatoes are flowering, garlic bulbs are getting bigger, and the lettuce patch is a pretty mix of colors.

After a long winter, a late spring, and a rainy June the harvest has begun. It’s a modest beginning because of the cold and wet in early June which slowed crops down, surprisingly even our lettuce and salad mix.

We have three kinds of beets, three kinds of squash, swiss chard, two kinds of parsley, some very nice basil, and shell peas.

Depending on the amount ordered I may have to limit the peas, but order what you want and hopefully we can provide the full amount.

PLEASE NOTE – orders need to be in by 8:00 Thursday evening. Late orders are okay if you forget, but 8:00 is best. Orders placed Friday morning are too late.

Pick-up is here at the farm from 4:30 to 7:30 and at Union Mill in Peterborough from 5 to 8.

Please make checks out to Tim Winship.

Call or email if you have any questions.

Despite the challenging weather, the crops are hanging in there and hopefully the season will be in full swing soon.

Thank you and enjoy,
Tim
