FIELD NOTES
Picture
No frost on the Little Jacks just yet, but we're seeing 38 degree overnight temps in the 15 day!

Our days are turning chilly and it's been harvest, harvest, harvest. We are trying to get it all in before the frosts come. Speaking of harvest, Pumpkin Days begins this weekend! Our pumpkin displays will be up and we will have all kinds of fall decor like indian corn, cornstalks, mums (8 colors to choose from), straw bales, and most importantly, PUMPKINS! We'll have our traditional small, medium, and large carvers, sugars, gourds and the wicked popular Warty Goblins. New this year you'll see heirloom pumpkins, Little Jacks and Baby Boos too! All of the autumn goodies we all love will be here like fresh pressed cider, apple cider donuts, pumpkin bread, ginger molasses cookies, pumpkin spice and maple nut coffees, as well as fresh baked bread, local maple syrup, pumpkin butter, and apple maple jam!

The holidays will be here soon! For those of you that are interested we are bringing in limited pre-order pasture-raised Thanksgiving turkeys from Mondego Acres Farm. At this time we will only be offering them to our CSA members! Pricing and availability will be coming soon. If you would like more information please call, message us or talk with your Bardwell Farm representative during CSA pickup.

Enjoy your share this week folks!
