Well, there you have it!  The new 'thing' I was telling you about last week.  This is now sitting in the front yard, by the Stand.  It was an old oil drum that Colin's Dad & Grandpa used for their machinery here on the farm, way back in the 50's.  It was just begging to be used again, in another capacity! Yayy - something to put our Family's Legacy on!!  Hope you like it!

This has been the most interesting past few days.  I have been picking pumpkins for a large order going to Devan Greenhouses.  It's been so fun checking out the different shapes and sizes of these pumpkins.  So far, the biggest one I've pulled is 42 pounds!  Picking all the pumpkins and cleaning them is a really hard and long job, but it is so much fun at the same time.

The squashes are ready for sale!  I have Buttercup, Kabocha Green, and Kabocha Orange!  They made their debut today in the stand.  Only $1.50 per squash.  Cabbage is back in the stand as well.

If you are wanting to do some pickled beets, I still have lots left after I've done all my pickling, so give me a call if you need more than just a couple - I can pick it ahead for you, so you don't have to wait when you get here!

Liberty Apples are also ready - sold my first batch today - this apple is so crunchy and tart, but makes the best apple sauce and apple pie ever!!  Gotta try them.  I will be grafting more for my own orchard next Spring! :)  And Tomatoes are making their way slowly - they are delicious this year!

It's hard to believe that Summer is almost over already - where did the time go??
Come by and check out what I've got soon!  Would love to meet you!
