WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE FARM

It takes a village to install plastic on a 200' high tunnel!

Fresh garlic bulbs are back at the stand folks!

The crew makes sure our mums are looking good every day!

Spooky season is here and the Bardwell Farm Pumpkin Patch is open!

Love seeing smiling faces at the farm stand!

More seed trays for winter planting in the high tunnels!

The new high tunnel is almost complete!

We planted overwintering onions yesterday to harvest come spring!

We have a "build-your-own" gourd bar!
