Posted in Uncategorized2 Comments

Hi all – I’ll be stopping the official farm “hours”  Wed & Saturdays, and will instead be available by appt – call or email me if you need organic, delicious olive oil and I’ll be here! I’m home most days and evenings before 6.

Our winter squash and pumpkin crop didn’t make it, so besides olive oil we have garlic and onions, kale and cabbage, swiss chard, parsley. Those can be picked up any day, just call (or email) first! 413-259-1183

Thanks for a great season, sarah

BASICALLY, take last week’s post and re-read! Open tomorrow, Wednesday, 4-6pm, come by for amazing Shutesbury-grown food!SONY DSC

We have:  PEACHES, SWEET CORN, red and savoy cabbage, carrots, beets, kale, rainbow chard, sweet and red onions, broccoli, painted notecards, lip balms, and organic Olea XV olive oil.

We also have salve-making kits (FUN),
Rosa rugosa rosehips, fresh elderberries and echinacea flowers.
I will gladly teach you how to make your own rosehip elderberry syrup as well, free of charge!
Also my son is still selling a large box of mixed legos (including many special pieces like animals and people) for $25, trying to save up for a scooter.
If you are new to our farm and don’t know us, we are not certified but WAY organic and add lots of minerals to the soil, resulting in deeply SATISFYING food, food that has all (most anyway) of the minerals you need! Hope you can come by!
