Hi Folks,

The field crops are growing quickly with our warm weather. We are hoping for a bumper crop of broccoli with in a couple weeks. Garlic will also be coming out early this year.

Please use extra care coming Down the driveway this summer. We have had several new additions to the family. Two new grandchildren arrived in November who are beginning to be quite mobile and a new golden retriever puppy arrived last week. Come on by there’s lots of life happening on the farm!

Well spring has sprung and after a lovely train trip Jim and I came home to GREENS, spinach, arugula, elegance greens and lettuce mix. They are tender and delicious. The hens also are quite happy with warm days and are laying those beautiful eggs. The farmstand is open daylight hours. Come on by and help yourself.


Even though it doesn’t feel like it, it is spring

Yes it’s been chilly but our crops tucked in the greenhouses have been growing.  CSA shares bare available, $660 for a large share and $390 for a small share.  The girls have been laying eggs quite regularly for a reliable supply of eggs at the farm stand. If you’re interested in honey come to the house we’re still keeping it inside. There are lots of projects going on here at the farm including a new irrigation system that will enable us to save water.


CSA shares, honey and eggs

post by: Debbie Fields February 20, 2016

CSA shares for 2016 are available for $660 for a large share and $390 for a small share. A large share will have 9 to 12 items, a small share 6 to 9 items in a weekly bag from the 3rd week in May through the last week in October. Along with a few extras as weather allows.
Last fall the first honey was harvested from hives here on Fields Farm. For those of you who use local honey to help control seasonal allergies or if you just like a delicious light honey we’ll have pints of honey for $11 in the sales shed by mid week.  With the recent warm weather the hens think it’s spring and are laying well. Eggs are in the grey frig.
Planting has began and the onion starts are up. We are hoping for another bountiful year.
