The garden in high summer
Raised beds, too many zucchini, and berries the children eat before they reach the basket.
The vegetable garden started as something for our own kitchen. It has quietly turned into one of the better parts of a farm visit.
Raised beds
Everything grows in raised beds, filled with compost that mostly comes off the farm — bedding out of the coop, spent bedding from the barn, garden waste. Nothing about it is clever. It is just closing a loop that most farms already have open.
What comes out of it
High summer is tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and more zucchini than any household can reasonably absorb. The photograph on this post is one afternoon's picking.
The berries are the real attraction
We run a Garden & Berry Experience, and it is the least complicated thing we offer: you walk the beds and the bushes with us and eat what is ripe. It is 30 to 45 minutes and starts at $14.99, which makes it the cheapest way onto the farm.
Honesty requires noting that the berry-to-basket conversion rate among under-tens is poor. We have made our peace with it.
Come and see it in person
Every visit is private — just your group. Or call and ask what's ready this week; we pick up the phone.
