FEATURE CROP

These are a few of our photos taken in the past:

My wife, Mandy & me are at the helm of the produce operation. We enjoy the satisfaction we receive from happy customers.

 

Our children have been very helpful in production and marketing. Here they use a hand powered cultivator to work the strawberry patch. For many years we have used shredded newspaper  as a mulch for strawberries. The paper has many advantages over straw... no weed seeds, no slug problems, more picking comfort.

 

Mulch, mature grass clippings, provides a mat to keep weeds in check. It also conditions soil. Asparagus spears (foreground) are one of our first crops, available to harvest late April.

 

Window frames provide faster start for tomato plants set out in early spring. Plants under frame produced 2 weeks ahead of uncovered neighbors. Larger crop of field grown tomatoes provide most of our crop. We usually grow 12 to 15 varieties. I have my favorites, not always the popular choices.

 

Harvesting potatoes! Claiming the rewards of the harvest at the county fair.

 

Some Farmer's Market Photos over the season:

June- Strawberries & lots of greens.

 

Mid-season: Lots of variety- beans, tomatoes, broccoli....the list goes on

 

Flowers and  potted plants are not our specialty but we usually offer an array of potted ornamental peppers (all with edible fruit) and some potted herbs.

 

October: Apples & cider aren't everything we offer, they just look good.

 

Above is a display of our stand at the State College Farmer's Market. Although we offer a few cut flowers from the garden in early-mid season, our focus is on edible plants or their fruits. We make it a point to offer as much of a selection as possible from the start of market day at 11:30 to the end at 5:30. Although some produce sells out early, these photos were taken near the end of  busy days. We try to pick our produce as fresh as time allows and strive to keep it fresh looking by using a shade cover on sunny days, squirting with cool water and using a large van for storage during hot days.
