What’s In Season
Our variety of locally sourced fruits, vegetables, plants, and other goods varies heavily with the seasons. Below you’ll find a general guide to when you can find your favorites!
Sweetcorn and Sunflowers take center stage in August!
August is the peak of the summer produce season and 2 of our favorites are the sunflowers we grow on our farm and of course our famous sweetcorn. This year we are hosting a terrific event to raise funds for some worthy missions to help families that are struggling with food insecurity. Please consider stopping out at the farm on Number One Road in Union Springs anytime to pick your own sunflowers, but especially for the event and an opportunity to see where we grow our produce!
Mid-May - July 1
Beginning in May, we’ll have for you an array of flowers, vegetable plants, and herbs so you can get your gardens flourishing. Towards the end of May you’ll see rhubarb, asparagus, and spinach.
Around mid-June strawberries, peas, lettuce, swiss chard, kale, scallions and radishes all become available!
July 1 - August 31
In July things really heat up! First we’ll have cherries (tart & sweet), raspberries, beans, salad greens, zucchini, and yellow squash. A bit later we’ll get cucumbers, blueberries, beets, and finally towards the end of July it’s SWEETCORN SEASON!
In August, we’ll introduce salad, sauce, and slicing tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, melon, and a variety of hot and sweet peppers. Then around mid-month we’ll add our juicy peaches.
Sept 1 - Oct 31
In early September we say hello to the first apples! We’ll still have plenty of peaches, sweetcorn, potatoes, peppers, and tomatoes in addition to cabbage, plums, kale, and fall raspberries.
Don’t blink! Only a few weeks into September our first mums, winter squash, pumpkins, and fall decorations appear! Throughout October until we close we also have ornamental corn, popcorn, cornstalks, gourds, and fresh apple cider.
