FIELD NOTES
Working in the field with all of this cool weather has been really enjoyable! The fall harvest is now in full swing and we're picking all varieties of winter squash and pumpkins. This is my favorite time of the year and puts a smile on my face every day! Love it!

We're seeding fields with a winter rye cover crop, a sign we're at the end of the season. It's mostly harvesting now, field and farm cleanup, and tending to several overwintering crops. I can't believe how quickly it went by.

Construction continues with the greenhouse and other out buildings. We are now turning our focus to these projects to complete before the weather turns. You're always racing against time on a farm and there are never enough hours in the day.

We've also been busy planning Pumpkin Days and if the weather holds out we may begin the last week of September. Folks will be able to pick out their favorite pumpkin, have some hot apple cider, apple cider donuts, pumpkin bread, shop the farmstand and farm store offerings. We're all looking forward to it, more info to come!  

See you all this week :)

Owner Harrison Bardwell
