If the local weathermen are correct we might just see some sun this week. The strawberry crop suffered from too much water and too little sun. I am hopeful that a little sun and a lack of rain should help bring in some great late strawberries. Our raspberries are also ready for picking at our main farm in South Glastonbury. Let’s hope that with the arrival of summer , our weather will become more seasonable.

Here comes the sun?
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009Strawberries are Ready!
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
It’s taken a while but strawberry season is finaly here. If you want strawberries now is the time to pick. With any luck the weathermen will be wrong and we’ll be able to pick for the upcoming weekend. We plan to be open at our stand on Hebron Ave. for picking Monday through Firday 9 am to 6pm and Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 5 pm. At the home farm on Matson Hill our hours are Wednesday 8 to 5 pm then Saturday 8 to 5 pm and Sunday 9 am to 5pm., weather permitting. Please call our infor line 860-633-7467 the day you plan to come to make sure we are indeed open. Enjoy the season!
Rain, Rain Go Away
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009I am beginning to think that the farm has been transported to the British Isles. We did need a good rain but it needs to go away so we can start the pick-your-own season. We hope to start on Sunday June 14 in conjunction with our first Breakfast.
If the rain cooperates we will be starting the Old Lyme Market on Friday 3 pm to 6pm and the Chester Market on Sunday, 9 am to 1 pm. We continue to be at the Wooster Square Market and New Milford on Saturday mornings. One way or another we hope to see you for your first taste of native strawberries.
