Chickens love living in the hoophouses over the winter. We leave one side slightly rolled up so they can go outside when they want.

 Happy Winter All,

It may seem premature, but our CSA membership form for 2021 is now available for printing as a link on this page. We will also have a payment option setup soon on our Square website. You can mail the form in with a check or find us at the Chamberlain Acres or Corning Farmers' Markets. No changes this year to the CSA - we were able to keep the CSA prices unchanged.

We have been busy planning for the coming growing season. We prioritized getting our seed orders in early knowing that demand for seed will be high again this year. We wanted to make sure we got our orders in before too many of the varieties we rely on are sold out. We have also been having fun reviewing the numbers (sales, harvest logs, etc.) from last year and planning our planting maps for this year. We hope you are all having as pleasant a winter as possible thus far.

We finished harvesting the last of the parsnips yesterday and we found some award-winners

Our wrinkled and stained harvest log from the past year. This hangs out in our washbarn all year and we enter all of the crops we harvest in it.

The rusted frame of our market van. It failed inspection last month so if we can't get it welded we will be "in the market" for a market van.
