Martin's Farmstand: Cut Flowers and raspberries
Below is an updated in season now list from Martins Farmstand. The gardens are happy with a nice rain yesterday and in general crops look normal. Field beans, zucchini, cabbage, basil and cucumbers are starting to come in larger amounts. The cut flowers are also starting to bloom. If any of you want cut flowers to brighten your home, office or dinner table come and be our guest. If you cut the flowers yourself they are free. The u-cut patches are located right in front of the stand building and also across the second driveway in the field north (away for 11b) of the market. If you are getting larger amounts stop at the stand and let us know what you have in mind. The only time we limit larger amounts is if the patch is getting over cut. If you are reselling the flowers then please pay us a fair portion of the resulting money.
The black raspberries are at their peak now and will be ripening into the beginning of next week. The raspberry patches will be open for u-pick during normal stand hours (10am-6 pm) starting tommorow on a first come basis (no appointment). This will last into next week as long as the season continues. Daniel
Grumpy Goat: Weblog Entry
The market is open for ordering. We’ve begun harvesting cabbages, radicchio and okra this week and will probably have the first tomatoes and peppers in the store Friday!
Happenings on the farm:
Matt’s been busy row cultivating the field crops which are looking amazingly weed free compared to previous years,
We’ve been busy trying to get the last of the garlic harvested – 6 varieties out – 4 to go!
Angus – our 6 month old goat kid will be getting sheared today and he’s heading to his new home in Michigan this weekend.
I’ve been trying to get the last of the tomatoes and peppers strung up – better late than never!

We’re open for the week!
The countdown is on for the new site to be ready. We have only three more ordering weeks using the current system. Then on August 2nd, we’ll open the Market as usual by 9PM that evening, but on the new site. It’s exciting!
The new site will take credit cards using Stripe, which is well-known and very secure. You’ll still be able to pay with cash or check in person of course.
It’s very easy to sign up on the new site, but we can walk customers through the process during pickup on August 2nd.
Thank you so much for your support!
