Berea Gardens:  Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving

Market Day! Berea Gardens 4 to 6 PM. Today marks the end of our 2022 regular market season and I want to express our heartfelt thanks to all of you that have supported us through another year. Our dream when establishing this venture in 2009 was to bring the best quality, most nutritious, freshest produce to this community to enhance the strength of bodies, minds and spirits of our neighbors. It is a privilege to be your farmer. We have more good produce for you today and want to wish all of you a blessed and happy Thanksgiving. We have so very much to be grateful for, including this morning’s harvest.

Free Eggs

Yes, that’s right free eggs, but you have to buy three dozen to get the free one! And so it goes some weeks, not every one!

Our winter harvest basket shares available; 12 weeks or 6 weeks biweekly pickup. See the writeup in the Market.

Would you like a local farmer all-your-own?

One customer has asked me if I would consider being host farmer for their family, supplying everything we produce for a flat fee plus contribution of nominal hours on farmhelp. If you are interested in principle, let me know. It will allow me to plan the onfarm production and workforce for the coming year. You get me to grow what you want, both fresh and storage. The idea is to commit to a local farm for the whole year for most of your vegetables, meats and eggs.

Surf to the online store here to place your order. Store pick up Thurs 4 to 6 or by arrangement.

Healthy eating,
Ian, Cami and Lauren
