Year Around Long Season Farm Products:
Spring
Each spring, the farm comes alive with activity. Seedlings are started in the greenhouse, sowings are begun in the fields, and our overwintered crops burst with new growth. Look for abundant spinach, early radishes, and the tastiest arugula!
Summer
Heat brings us all of the fruiting vegetables: ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, and more. Bunching greens are abundant, as is the weed pressure.
Fall
Everything is in season. When else can you pair a tomato harvested before the first fall freeze with chicory sweetened by frost? Fall is harvest season for a reason.
Winter
Winter is the slowest and most challenging time for fresh crops. Every leaf is precious, so more time is spent in the kitchen and less in the fields. Nothing is better than roasted roots, mashed potatoes, or braised greens.
