Whetstone Ledges Farm and Covid 19


 Wed 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.

Dan and Gail MacArthur, Whetstone Ledges Farm
