Take Public Transportation to the Orchard
Hi folks!
PYO Raspberries are OPEN.
PYO Blueberries are OPEN!
(Strawberries are done for the season).

The status on berry picking is pretty darn great. There are red and black raspberries ripe for picking and the bluebs are huge and gorgeous.
Word to the wise however: BRING YOUR BUG STUFF. We sell some in the store just in case you forget, but you are apt to need something to protect yourself (and the kiddos) from the mosquitoes. You'll be much happier.
Limited time left on the Sweet and Tart cherries which are still available daily in the store.

And! The season's offerings from the garden are growing every day. We've got arugula, salad greens, cherry and sungold tomatoes, big tomatoes (juicy and fleshy and earthy and yes, they're real...), swiss chard, and scallions. Radishes, beets, kohlrabi, zukes and summer squash are in, and so much more bounty is about to pop any day.

Ready for dessert? Come and get it. Strawberry Rhubarb pies, Blueberry cobblers, and what? You haven't eaten a strawberry-blueberry muffin top the size of Nevada before? Well, get in here. New things: crostini (we're told they are perfect), bruschetta, the sensible muffin, just to name a few. Incidentally, the basil pesto and 3-herb pesto, salsa, bruschetta, and caprese are made fresh with our own herbs and veggies. Speaking of veggies: Veggie wraps are made daily! (Think healthy-yet-indulgent convenient sandwich-cum-hummus vehicle, if you can think that many thinks). Cider donuts, apple pies, rollups, scones, muffin tops, and the usual lineup of delectables are also here to tempt you.

What else? In sum: annuals, perennials, herbs, baskets, bags, bottles, seeds, catnip, wine, cider pops, popcorn, bottle toppers, newspapers, cheese, mugs, books, maps, tshirts, sweatshirts, undershirts, applesauce, honey, maple syrup, teas, coffees, baby gifts, ice cream, soup mix, penny candy, jams and jellies, apple butter, eggs, garlic, spices, lunch boxes, vinegars, fudge, and a lot more.

WHAT'S HOT: Public Transportation to the farm on weekends this summer. Check it out: www.ipswichessexexplorer.com
WHAT'S NOT: Polypropylene shopping bags (that's a big word for plasticky plastic.)
WHAT'S HOT: Arugula, chevre and walnut salad tossed with balsamic vinaigrette.
WHAT'S NOT: Hearts of Romaine trucked in from Cali.



 
   
Come on down to the farm
to see what's new and enjoy what's old.
