There will be no Corning Farmers' Market tomorrow. For those of you who normally pick up your share on Thursdays, you are welcome to pick it up on Friday at the farm from Noon-Dark, at the Ithaca Farmers Market on Saturday (limited selection) or Sunday at the Chamberlain Acres Farmers Market (11am-3pm). Or you can double up next week.

Thanks for your understanding. Hopefully it actually snows and we did not cancel for nothing.

Goodbye tomatoes, we will miss you!

For the first time in the history of our CSA we must stop taking on new CSA shares for the Fall/Winter CSA. We have over 30 shares which is way more than we have ever had before. To ensure that we have a good selection of produce to last through mid-February we have decided to close the CSA to new members for the rest of the winter season. We will begin taking on new shares for the 2023 CSA season sometime later this winter. Thank you so much to everyone who has already signed up and made this Fall/Winter CSA season such a success.

Market update for Thanksgiving week:

We will be at the Watkins Glen Thanksgiving Market on Tuesday November 22 3:30-6:30 at Watkins Glen Performing Arts Center

The Corning Farmers' Market will be on Wednesday November 23 10:00-2:00 at the Marconi Lodge.

Ithaca Farmers' Market as usual on Saturday 10:00-2:00

Chamberlain Acres Market as usual on Sunday 11:00-3:00

 

 

We ask for your forgiveness. If you are finding bugs in your kale (aphids) or leeks (allium leaf miner) we do apologize. We know they are a problem.

Please remember to vote. Early voting is open through Sunday.

We do not plan to do a weekly newsletter through the fall and winter. But please check back for occasional updates from the farm.

We still have low-income Fall/Winter CSA shares available. So please let anyone know who you think might be interested.

Here is the winter farmers' market schedule we will be attending:

Corning at Marconi Lodge: Thursday 10:00-2:00

Ithaca Farmers Market: Saturday 10:00-2:00
