White Barn Farmstand Open Friday and Saturday
Posted 7/1/2010 10:43pm by Christy and Chris Kantlehner.
Hi everybody!
What a good season so far. We could use a good rain soaking, but the air is beautiful!
Thank you for all of the loyal and regular patronage, customers. We are having fun getting to know everyone and we think it is cool to provide food for our neighbors. That seems right.
Well, one of our customers called today and asked if we would be open this weekend, thinking of the holiday. She suggested, "you might have a life and be going off for the holiday." I jokingly assured her that we have no life and will certainly be here. Just teasing, Pamela! We do have plans to head to a music festival in Maine for the fourth. I'm bringing the hula hoop and our angel worker, Meg, will water the greenhouse. Meg's the one who makes the flower bouquets this year.
Indeed, THE ROADSIDE STAND WILL BE OPEN FOR REGULAR HOURS:
Friday 3pm-7pm and Saturday 10am-2pm
We will be back Tuesday and open from 3-7pm as usual. and so on until we turn into pumpkins on halloween.
We will have:
plenty of lettuce
plenty of beets
carrots
scallions
parsley
zucchini
limited cucumbers
swiss chard
pearl drop onions (at least Saturday)
limited basil
maybe arugula (if it isn't all flowering)
mint
red cabbage
sugar snap peas
snow peas
Eggs from Brambly Farm and possibly some Pampered Poultry eggs
Local Honey from Roger at Franklin Honey and from Ken Oles, who both keep hives here at White Barn Farm
and, of course, gorgeous cut flowers!!! :)
Hope to see you there! Happy Fireworks!
Note: We don't grow sweet corn. I recommend Cook's Valley Farm in West Wrentham, although I'm not sure if it's ready yet. I just checked their website and it says greenhouse tomatoes are available at their farmstand. We have a couple of small red "Glacier" tomatoes ripening in our field (they were seeded and set out early under row cover). Nothing really to speak of - yet. The Cooks also grow raspberries, blueberries, and peaches (which we only grow here in our dreams of the future). They are expected to ripen up to two weeks ahead of schedule this year.
