Summer!

Summer bounty is beginning to roll in. We are now stocking the farm stand on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, usually by mid afternoon. You’ll find a great variety of vegetable in the farm stand. For example, on July 10 we harvested our much-loved Gourmet Salad mix, peas, beans, fava beans, carrots, beets, summer squash, cucumbers, scallions, sweet onions, turnips, broccoli, and more.

We have reached the time of year when we sell out of eggs every day. We stock the farm stand with eggs every morning. Wednesday through Sunday are the best days as some of our eggs on Tuesdays are taken by CSA share holders.

We are beginning to have berries. We expect our main season raspberry crop to begin to mature in late July. We’ll keep you posted. Sign up and we’ll let you know by e-mail when we stock the farm stand and with what.

Winter Blast


December 15, 2008. This past weekend the temperature dropped and we got a couple of inches of snow. Fortunately we were well warned and did our best to protect less hardy crops by covering them with row covers and cloches. Now our tender plants are waiting under this cover plus snow and we are waiting to see what survives after. We put many great crops in the farm stand on Friday, some of which froze inside the refrigerator. So the farm stand. now stands empty for the first time in months. We will be harvesting and stocking it again after the thaw, but have for now taken down the “Farm Stand Open” sign.

Great Year at Farmers Market

November 22 was Plum Forest Farm’s last day at the Saturday Market for 2008. We want to thank all of you who bought produce from us this year. We had a great year at the market and look forward to returning in 2009. If you miss our produce at the market, please check out our farm stand.
