Greetings farm friends!

It’s been a merciless summer so far, hasn’t it? We’re still harvesting, watering things, weeding (how do the weeds flourish with no rain?!), watering things, and petting the cats (and then moving around some more soaker hoses to water things). The deer are really wreaking havoc lately. They usually leave the tomatoes pretty much alone, but this year they went into the field and chomped the tops off of the plants and ate every green tomato there was. We’re hoping the plants can recover, and Maria has been camping out by the tomato field in an effort to scare the deer away a bit. Wish us luck, and wish for some rain, too, please!

Despite some struggles, many things are growing nicely. If we haven’t seen you at the Downtown Milford Farmers’ Market, our weekly farmstand on the farm, or in our pick-your-own flower field, we hope to see you at one of them soon! Details on times and days you can come visit us are below.

No More Pots, Please!

Thanks for bringing us so many plant pots so we can reuse them and keep them out of landfills and the ocean and other places they don’t belong! We currently have as many pots as we can use and sort, so we are putting a pause on accepting more for now.

If you have pots that you’d like to have reused/recycled, please check out the links to the programs at Lowe’s and Home Depot below:
