At our farm, each season brings new opportunities to celebrate the beauty of nature, the joy of family fun, and the delight of fresh, flavorful food. From the first blossoms of spring to the golden hues of autumn, every moment is an invitation to connect with the land and its bounty. Join us as we explore the rhythm of the seasons and discover how they enrich our lives year-round.

Winter: A Season of Warmth

Winter is a time to savor the fruits of late fall harvests and prepare for the season ahead. On the farm, we offer hearty winter greens and staples like winter squash, potatoes, and onions. Visitors can also enjoy homemade soups crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients—perfect for warming up on chilly days.

The holiday season brings even more joy, with Christmas trees and firewood available to make your home festive and cozy. Winter on the farm is a season of comfort, connection, and the quiet beauty of nature at rest.

Spring: A Season of Renewal

Spring is a time of awakening; on the farm, it’s the season of the first harvests. In May and June, we welcome visitors to pick their own strawberries, savoring the sweetness of this much-anticipated crop. Alongside strawberries, the fields yield tender asparagus and rhubarb, perfect for vibrant spring recipes. As the season progresses, our gardens come alive with greens such as arugula, kale, spinach, leeks, peas, radishes, and various fresh herbs. Eating in harmony with the seasons nourishes the body, providing the vitamins and minerals it needs to thrive as we emerge from winter.

Summer: A Bounty of Flavors

Summer is a celebration of abundance. Our fields overflow with juicy Jersey tomatoes, eggplant, and cucumbers, alongside blueberries, peaches, and blackberries. Sweet corn, peppers, plums, and pears join the lineup, offering endless possibilities for fresh, delicious meals. This season also brings an array of vibrant flowers, including sunflowers, cosmos, and zinnias, creating picturesque backdrops and opportunities for cherished family memories. From Pick-Your-Own adventures to enjoying live music by the sunflower trail, summer on the farm is full of joy and activity.

Fall: A Harvest of Comfort

As the air cools and leaves turn, fall invites us to savor hearty, nourishing foods. Apples of every variety take center stage, along with squashes, pumpkins, and fall greens like arugula, mustard greens, and kale. Fall raspberries and herbs add fresh flavors to autumn dishes, while potatoes and dried beans offer comforting staples for hearty meals. Fall also marks the arrival of beloved traditions, from navigating the corn maze and picking the perfect pumpkin to enjoying warm cider by the campfire. It’s a time to gather with loved ones and embrace the magic of the season.

More Than Four Seasons

As farmers, we believe the year holds more than just four seasons. Between the traditional markers of spring, summer, fall, and winter, there are transitional times—moments of quiet growth and preparation. These in-between seasons are just as vital, offering unique crops and flavors that sustain us throughout the year.
