Hi Folks,
Well, autumn has definitely arrived. We’ve had some quite chilly nights here at the farm and daytime temps are forecast to barely reach the 70’s this week. While it’s good to be done with the extreme heat of the summer, we are hoping for another 3 or 4 weeks of frost free weather. (more…)
Hello Everyone! This week marks the beginning of the second half of the season (time flies when you’re eating well!). We still have three more weeks of summer officially and we hope for at least a few more of warm, frost free weather. We are also hoping for some rain (but not too much) as we have slipped back into a dry weather pattern. Our early planting of tomatoes has mostly succumbed to disease, but we have second and third plantings that will continue to produce for a while yet. Peppers and eggplant will continue for at least another 6 weeks. Unfortunately, the second and third planting of summer squash have not fared so well, so we will probably not have much zucchini for you until a fourth planting begins to produce in a few weeks. We do have another planting of cucumbers beginning to come in, so we hope to have some cukes for you in the coming weeks. (more…)

We will once again offer a fruit share for the 2015 season!
The share will consist of 2 types of tree fruit each week with an average of 5-7 lbs. total weight. We will begin the season with blueberries, peaches, plums, and nectarines. During those weeks when we send blueberries and kiwi the total weight will be less as these are high priced items.
The fall fruit shares will be comprised of different varieties of apples and pears each week and hopefully some organic hardy kiwi from PA at the end of September. The season will run for 14 weeks beginning the week of July 19 and ending in October. We may skip one week at the end of August.
The cost of the fruit share will be $15 per week which equals $210 for the season.

Hi Folks,
The weather has continued to present challenges during this past week. The frequent rain does not give the ground ample time to dry out enough for me to prepare ground or plant seeds. In addition high winds which accompanied a storm on August 21 tore the plastic off the high tunnel greenhouse at the Blairstown farm. (more…)
This Sichuan-style (also spelled Szechuan) green beans recipe, found on The Modern Proper food blog, is inspired by the deliciously blistered green beans just like you can get from your favorite Chinese takeout restaurant. The dry-fry is a technique that intentionally dries out the food that’s being cooked—in this case to make our spicy green beans recipe. Stir frying the green beans in hot oil causes them to release moisture and take on a crisp-chewy texture. Serves 4. (more…)
If you’re ever unsure of what to do with your veggies, stir fries are a great way to combine just about anything into a delicious and fast meal. Here’s a simple recipe using many Asian greens. All measurements are approximate, and feel free to substitute! (more…)
If we are lucky enough to get broccoli leaves, they are perfect in this soup. If not, feel free to just use broccoli. This will be a very dark green soup. (more…)
Try this classic Cobb salad made with a quick homemade dressing, courtesy of delish.com. If you want to make this ahead of time, we recommend storing the lettuce, eggs, chicken, bacon, and chives in one container. Then you can peel the avocado and chop it along with the tomatoes before adding to the salad and tossing with dressing. Everything will keep in the fridge like that for up to 3 days. Serves 4-6.
