Farm Stand

post by: Debbie Fields July 15, 2015

Hi Folks,
We’ve had several new folks by wondering how to buy fresh veggies at the farm, so it’s time for an update.  The best days to find the refrigerator stocked is Tuesday to Saturday. No harvesting is done on Sunday and Monday. Vegetable that will be reliably available are leafy greens of kale, chard, collards and lettuce mix, summer squash, onions, garlic, parsley and basil.  Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage will often be in the frig too. Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and celery will be on in about 3 weeks. Eggs are in short supply until the younger chicks start laying in about 6 weeks. Thursday and Friday are the best days for eggs right now. Come by during daylight hours, if you need help honking is not considered impolite here. If there is specific things you want feel free to call in an order at 541-382-8059 and we’ll have it labeled and ready for you.
Debbie, Jim and Brian

CSA details/lots o’ eggs

post by: Debbie Fields February 15, 2015

Hi Folks,
As soon as I sent the CSA announcement out I was reminded be several of you that I forgot a few important details. To secure your share please send at least half the payment with the remainder due in June.  We don’t accept credit cards or online payment due to the fees involved.  We want to keep the price of the share as low as possible. Checks or cash is fine and can be mailed or brought to the farm at 61915 Pettigrew Rd. Bend  OR 97702. The price for the large share is $640 and for a small share is$380. Call 541-382-8059 or email if you have questions.
With this unseasonably warm weather our hens are laying eggs like crazy. There are plenty of eggs in the grey refrigerator.  Seeding has begun.  Owen Murphy’s class from COCC came out on Friday and did a truly awesome amount of work getting us ready for the planting season. All the greenhouses are cleaned out, in place and ready to plant, raspberries are pruned, shallots planted and mulched. A big thanks to Owen and his class.

2015 CSA

post by: Debbie Fields February 2, 2015

Hi Folks,
The garlic is beginning to peek out of the ground and we’re seeding onions this week, must be time to open the 2015 CSA!  We are offering both a large and small share this year.  The large share will have 10 to 15 items per bag, less variety at the beginning of the season and by August we usually have a bounty of items.  The small share will have 6 to 9 items per bag.  The large share will cost $640 and small shares $380.  The season will begin as soon as we have produce available often with greens available in April with the full shares beginning sometime in May.  It’s always difficult to predict what the weather will bring and how it will affect our first harvests.  If there is a vegetable or certain variety you would like us to consider growing now is the time to let us know.
Oooh, we can’t wait for those firt spring greens!
