Covid-19 Updates

Hello dear friends and neighbors, 

Every day it seems there are new guidelines and regulations for small farms like ours, and we're doing our best to keep abreast of them and keep ourselves, our families and all of you safe.

We are most definitely planning on being open this summer, but are having to reassess how we do things, including pick your own protocols, open hours, and various options for home delivery and curb side pickup. We plan to have the stand "open" by early June. Please check back to our website for updated information as we navigate this challenging time.

Sending you all good health and good wishes, 

Whetstone Ledges Farm

Whetstone Ledges Farm and Covid 19

 We’d like to welcome you all back to another growing season! Onion, leek, spinach, tomatoes and kale are all started with many more plantings coming soon. Remember that fresh fruit and vegetables contain many minerals and nutrients important for immune health.

In light of the Corona virus pandemic we will be adjusting a few of our practices at the farm stand. As usual we will be using strict sanitary measures while harvesting, washing and transporting our produce. In addition, we will have as much produce as possible available as ‘grab and go”. Lettuce and greens will be bagged and in the cooler, other produce will either be bagged or sold by the container.

Berries will still be available for pick your own, and we will have a hand washing station with soap and running water at the farm stand for folks to use before picking. Signage will ask that anyone who has any illness to please refrain from entering the berry fields. In addition, we will be happy to deliver produce to anyone in the Marlboro area who is unable to leave their house due to quarantine.

Hoping everyone remains healthy this spring and we look forward to seeing you beginning in June.

Summer & Fall 2019

We have a bounty of fresh vegetables at the farm stand! And of course raspberries and blueberries. Also come by for fresh peaches, home made jams & preserves, Lauren's famous pickles, and more.

This Sunday will be our last "coffee & scones" gathering of the summer. There won't actually be scones--come for the surprise baked goods and meet Vermont Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rebecca Holcolm.

Berries Bursting

Happy summer 2017!

The blueberry bushes are dripping with blue, and the farm stand is full of good things. Come make your summer shopping easy!

Also: cookies and coffee throughout the week, and coffee and scones on Sunday mornings from 9-11.

We hope to see you soon!

Gail, Dan, Robin, Lauren (& Co.)

We are open for the summer 2016 season and bursting with good things! Including: greens (of many kinds); the first cherry tomatoes; peas; a panoply of chutneys, marmalades and jams; organic beef and chicken from Bonvue farm; local bread deliveries; amply syrup and more!

We will have cookies and coffee on Tuesdays and Fridays, and Sunday morning "Coffee Scones" starting this Sunday at 9am.

Berries will be full-blown in a couple weeks. We look forward to seeing you this farm season!

Thank You!!!

Thanks so much for shopping at Whetstone Ledges Farm Stand this season! This is the final week that we'll be open. This does not mean, however, that it's the end of the produce season. If you are interested in ordering fresh produce delivered to your door throughout the fall, contact Gail at dmacarthur@igc.org to find out how. There will be plenty of kale, swiss chard, bok choi, parsley and potatoes, and we expect to have lettuce and salad mix  available soon. Please stock up this week on beef and chicken from the farm stand and contact Brian McNeice directly after we close. Thanks so much for your support of local agriculture and for being part of this strong community!
