Plant Health & Seed Saving
Recent rains have been welcome but have promoted plant diseases, weeds, and some pests. As harvesting of onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and other vegetables continues it's important to apply sanitation practices to limit damage to our hard-earned harvests. Also, while harvesting veggies, herbs, and flowers is the best part of gardening, don't overlook another valuable crop you have and might want to harvest… seeds for next year. The easiest seeds to save include peas, beans, heirloom tomatoes, kale, or lettuce to assure you will have good seeds to plant next year. There are many advantages to saving your own seeds and it's very satisfying to see your plants from generation to generation. Sort of like your own botanical grandchildren. Finally, it's time to harvest some herbs like basil (pesto!) and dill seeds, plant some more salad greens (but not bulbs or garlic yet) and learn about an easy way to identify wildflowers and weeds.

Say Hello to the Weekend!
It's Friday folks and we are just as excited as you for the weekend! We certainly enjoy seeing you all here at the farm stand.
We got RAIN this past week .. yes, rain! It was such a wonderful sight and we are ever so grateful. The weekend forecast looks absolutely amazing, so get out and enjoy it if you can.
The grandkids have hung up their lemonade stand and will now focus on their hand pressed apple cider! They made a batch last week for the farm stand and are happy to report they sold every last drop. Keep an eye on our social media pages to know when they'll be pressing again.
Looking for a roast for dinner this weekend? We've got you covered. Check out our chuck roasts, briskets, round roast and sirloin tip roast. And don't forget we have some amazing pork shoulders.
We will have the usual Saturday goodies here ... sweet corn, fresh breads and baked goods.
With the exception of service dogs, no dogs allowed at the farm. Please be mindful of hay equipment, grandkids, vehicles and customers when driving in and out of our driveway. Our farm stand is located at 1966 Healdville Road in Mount Holly. Open Tuesdays through Sundays from 12:00pm-5:00pm. Closed on Mondays!
BEEF SHANKS!
Our grass fed beef shanks are so versatile .. from broth to stews, you'll want to grab a few packages while you're here!
As we head into soup season now is the time to stock up your freezer. Stop by the farm stand, let us know you saw this post, and will give you $1.00 off per pound when you purchase our beef shanks!
Auto body Repair needed- Had a fender bender today and need to find someone reliable and fair to do body work on my car. Can anyone recommend someone in the area that they have had good experiences with. Thanks.
I have a country cottage slipcover sofa. It was given to me and now I'd like to share it with someone who needs a sofa. It's totally comfortable and easy to clean. It looks very sloppy in the picture, but it really is lovely. It's two pieces. Call Robin 802-259-2131
