FLX Farm Tour Weekend was a success. Thanks to all those who came out to tour the farms of Schuyler County

What are those long purple things? They are Hinona Kabu turnips.

Kiwiberries from Mansfield Farm are now available.

These are seeds from a pepper variety called "Apple" that we are growing for Fedco Seeds. Here they are drying on a screen.

The Fall/Winter CSA form is now available. Please click the link on the right side of this page. Or just ask us about it at market.
