New Field Farm – Temple, New Hampshire

blueberries and peppers

Greetings from the farm,

We’ve added blueberries and some peppers this week. There are a few of each variety.

If you want blueberries it’s helpful to order early so we can start picking on Thursday.

Peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes are slow to grow in this weather we’ve been having. Even the greenhouse tomatoes are slow to ripen. Kind of odd, but every season has it’s quirks.

U-pick blueberries are available Wed. to Sun 8 to 5. The price is $2.35/lb. for online members. It’s best to bring your own containers, though we do have quarts and pint boxes for people to use.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the veggies and thank you for your orders.

U-pick blueberries open this weekend!

Greetings,

U-pick blueberry season has begun. We’ll be open this weekend, Sat. and Sun. 8 to 5 and then Wed. to Sun. 8 to 5 for the rest of the blueberry season.
The price is $2.35/lb. for online members and 2.60/lb. for the general public.

Enjoy,
Tim

What's new

Greetings,

New this week will be sugar snap peas.

I’ve also added a few cucumbers. They’re slow to come with the cool weather we’ve had (59 degrees here on the 4th!)so I’m guessing as to how many there might be by Friday. If cukes are sold out on the site you can ask for how many you would like in the comment section and we’ll provide if possible

Blueberries are starting to ripen. If we can be open for u-pick this weekend I’ll send an email. U-pick will certainly begin by next Wednesday 7/15 and we should be picking for the online market next week.

Greenhouse tomatoes and peppers in the field are also waiting for consistently warmer weather.

Thank you for your orders last week.

Enjoy,
Tim

Lettuce begin !

Greetings,

We’re ready to start the harvest this week.

I include shell peas on the list, but that may be optimistic. They’re close to being ready, but I can’t be sure we’ll be able to pick by Friday. We’ll hope for the best!

With the cooler weather we’ve had the lettuce is also slightly behind schedule. I’ll lower the price a bit if the heads are smaller than usual.

It looks like it’ll be a lovely day today so we’ll be focusing on getting a good jump on the weeds which have been enjoying all the recent rains.

Overall, the crops look good and when warmer weather arrives we should be off and running.

Blueberries may begin next week. Certainly by the week after.

Enjoy,
Tim

Harvest begins next week !

Greetings,

The first market will be next Friday, July 3.

You can place your orders beginning Tuesday, June 30 (the website will be updated and ready for ordering by that day.)

Orders should be in by Thursday, July 2 at 8:00. (the sooner the better)

Pick-up will be from 4:30 to 7:30 at the farm and from 5:00 to 8:00 in the lobby of the Union Mill. The entrance to the lobby is across from the back door of Nature’s Green Grocer.

We’ll have carrots, basil, swiss chard, scallions, curly and Italian parsley, arugula, and squash. And maybe shell peas, salad mix, lettuce, and beets, depending on growth rates in this spell of cooler weather. If an item is listed on the website next Tuesday then we’ll have it to offer. If not, then it’s not ready.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Tim
