New Farmstand Hours

Thank you for such an awesome season and for sticking with us through drought and heat, rain and cold. It has been awesome getting to know this CSA community. We will be keeping our farmstand open for as long as we can to the week of Thanksgiving. We will have slightly different hours....and the produce will run to roots and cold-hardy greens such as kales and cabbage, salad greens and more. Our eggs will also be available and anything I can keep from freezing in the farmstand!

New Hours:
Tuesdays -3-5
Fridays 3-5 (FARMSTAND WILL BE OPEN DURING NOVEMBER'S FRIDAY MORNING BOOK BUGS NOVEMBER 4TH!)
Saturdays 10-1 (unless there is an event, in which case we will be open earlier or later as the case may be)

Fall ideas: Coming to the Farmstand? Walk our quiet, easy trails that meander through the woods before you come. The woods are soft this time of year with their new carpet of leaves, and acorns, mushrooms and fairy houses abound. The deer have returned to eat the acorns and slip through the young trees like secrets.
Bring the kids- even the steepest trail is easy for young children.

 Come to one of our EVENTS this fall and winter. If you are a member you get free or reduced cost and they are so worth it. We have a lot of fun figuring out what to offer, but if you have any ideas, please let us know what you would like to see offered here. Open to series programs, homeschool programs, arts, etc. Contact me, ddubois@thetrustees.org or Kira, kbaker@thetrustees.org.
In the meantime:
Book Bugs is still happening on the farm on the first Friday of both November and December. Kira chooses an awesome book and then builds an hour of fun for young kids which includes a snack and a fun craft project. First Fridays from 1030-1130. These take place outside as long as the weather is fine- but will meet in the greenhouse if the weather is not!
November 5th is the Great Pumpkin Chuck! Come out from 1-3 and see how far our Trebuchet can pitch your old pumpkin! $5/each
We are reviving the Saturnalia Fest here on the farm in December- come join us for a totally different sort of winter holiday festivity! We will have our campfire going (with s'mores and more) while we learn about this Roman feast day in honor of the Titan of Agriculture. We'll light candles, play games, have a feast by the fire, and learn to make our own plieus, felt hats worn by all Saturnalia revelers! 

Meat CSA
Meat CSA sign-ups are still available. Don't miss out on some delicious meats raised on Trustees farms! For more information check the link above.
