fields of green






A few shots from this week of the industrious (and c'mon, cute!) folks working in the fields. In order of appearance: Owen Cricket, Yarrow Keenan, and Gail M.

And.....we're excited to officially open the stand this Sunday! You'll find: greens, greens and more greens, maple syrup, preserves (including Lauren's famous dandelion marmalade), and organic, local meat from Bonvue Farm. 

Can't wait to see you all there!

Gail, Robin & Lauren

it's starting...





The summer may be off to a slow start, but things are indeed happening around here: the tomato plants in our hoop house are waist-high, the seeds are in the ground, the blueberries  are in full bloom, and (thank goodness) the bees are buzzing. 

We won't officially open the stand until mid-June (we'll keep you posted), but we do have a fresh supply of greens (mesclun, spinach and kale) in the little fridge at the stand. We also have some of Lauren's special dandelion syrup...limited supplies of that, so come get it while it's fresh!

Lastly, NO, it's not too late to sign up for our Farm Stand CSA! What is that, again? 
At the beginning of the season you can buy a $150 membership (minimum).  You will then have an account page at the stand where you keep track of your purchases, and subtract those purchases from your investment. (When your initial investment runs out,  you are, of course, free to add as much or as little to your account as you like.) 

What's the benefit for you? 
We offer a 10% discount on Wednesdays to all farm members, as well as unlimited picking hours (come early, stay late!).


How do you sign up?
You can send a check, made out to Gail MacArthur, to PO Box 30, Marlboro, VT, or find her in person. At that point we will set up your account.


Soon, friends.
~Gail & Co.


PS: Since you're all asking, COFFEE & SCONES will begin Sunday, July 12th at 9am.
PPS: What is that handsome tractor? It's Dan's dad's old Farmall Cub which we've begun using as our cultivator...some things just never get better.

Stand still full of goodies!




It may be fall out there, but that doesn't mean the stand is slowing down! 

We'll be open until mid-October. Potatoes, pumpkins, butternut squash, tomatoes, garlic, peppers, greens and fall raspberries  will be available. Also pickles, jam, salsa and Brian's beef and chicken, Lauren's cookies on Wednesdays and Fridays, creams and lip balm for those chapped winter days and Robin and Ty's CDs.

Great picking in the fall raspberries - most of them are at my house , so try to call a day ahead if you plan to pick. Get containers at the farm stand before coming.  -- $3.50 per pint.


Thanks, as always, for your support and patronage!

Gail (& co).

spring greens!

Spring is officially here in Marlboro, and our greenhouses are full of tomato plants, grandchildren and greens! Because Sweeties is closed, we're now selling limited bags of the greens at the farm stand. Today you can find spinach, mesclun and baby kale in the fridge.

Enjoy!

~Gail & Co.

Stand closing Sunday, October 14th




Once again, thanks for all of your support for locally grown food. The last day that the stand will be open is Sunday, October 14th. Until then, we'll try to keep it full with butternut squash, potatoes, chard and kale, broccoli, tomatoes, eggs, salad  mix and raspberries. See you next summer!

Thanks, Dan and Gail, Robin and Lauren

pumpkins, squash, leeks, kale...




The days are getting shorter and cooler, so come to the farmstand between now and our late October closing for pumpkins, butternut squash, delicata squash, potatoes, leeks, kale, swiss chard, arugula, pickles, jams, late raspberries, pesto, fresh salsa, cherry tomatoes, tomatoes, peppers and more….

If you're running low on syrup, we still have some quarts available to tide you over until March. Brian's delicious chickens and beef are in the freezer and eggs are usually available.

We hope to see you soon!

Raspberries!



The official taste-testers at Whetstone Ledges are reporting that those red berries taste mighty fine. We'll have the first few pints for sale in the stand this weekend.

Whetstone CiderWorks


Jason and Lauren MacArthur are the owners and brewers of the artisanal hard cider Whetstone CiderWorks. They posted this update recently on their facebook page:

We've mixed and matched and poured and pondered through so many batches of cider, but we think we've whittled things down to some seriously delicious Orchard King and Queen blends. Dabinet, Yarlington Mill, Kingston Black, and Wickson are just a few of the choice apples that are giving these ciders some fabulous flavor and complexity. We can't wait for you to try them!


Nor can we wait to taste what they've got brewing.

PS: Their ciders will be available at limited tastings at the stand throughout the summer. Stay tuned to find out when!
