We have sweet corn today. At the farmstand we will have our peaches, several varieties of tomatoes, pickling cukes, which are the greatest for eating, we have slicing cukes off and on, 3 varieties of lettuce, kale, swiss chard (limited), summer squash, Zucchini, Beautiful Pink stems of lisianthus. I cut several varieties of basil and bunched it up to sell along with dill and cilantro from the herb garden @ $2/bunch. We have not used any organic or synthetic sprays on them.
The PYO tomato patch is open for red and green tomatoes and priced at $1/lb. We have 15 varieties, however not all are ready at this time: 4th of July which is small and a favorite of most, Early Girl is larger, a very large and meaty heirloom Mortgage Lifter, red cherries, sun gold cherries and others are ripening now that we have more sunny weather. The heirloom Brandy Wine is ripening and a few can be found. It will be about 2 weeks before the Romas are ready. Lots of customers make sauce using the Mortgage Lifter as it is so meaty and combine it with other tomatoes.
We made a pizza the other day using our fresh tomatoes and basil. Earlier in the day we sliced various tomatoes onto a baking sheet and at 350 we baked them and then broiled them at the very end. This concentrated the tomatoe's flavor greatly. All we did was brush olive oil onto a thin crust, place the tomatoes, mushrooms and onions we had cooked a little in the microwave, chicken breast, feta cheese and basil. We baked it for 15 minutes. It was delicious.
We have set our farm store hours to be Tuesday thru Friday 9am - 6pm and Saturday and Sunday 9 -4pm, closed Monday. We have lots of already picked peaches, they are very sweet and a free-stone type which is great for freezing ect. This variety called reliance was developed at UNH and is very hardy. Our peaches will be gone by soon. They fall off the tree early as no sprays are used. I freeze them for jamming and other recipes. I drop them into boiling water for a minute and then scoop them out and drop them into a large bowl of ice water. I wear my rubber dishwashing gloves and push the skins right off the peaches and quarter them into a large bowl. I add some fresh lemon juice and scoop into freezer bags, label and date. I use them all fall for jamming and peach raspberry granola bars ect. Jam makes a great christmas present. I did not go to the mall for any of my presents last year. I bought from local artisans or made jam. One of my favorite PYO peach orchards is Butternut Farm in Farmington. They have amazing fruit and all sorts of varieties and apples, berries ect. Their website is butternutfarm.net
If you don't cut in the CYO garden it gets ahead of us and I must cut in it to keep the flowers producing. Come on over and cut some flowers for your home, your wedding, the work place or for a friend. You can bring your own bucket or vase or I will wrap your flowers for travel. The herb garden is ready for you also. It has several varieties of Basil including a deep purple type, a fennel, anise hyssop, celantro, rosemary, tarragon and feverfew (which is great for headaches).
PYO raspberries are finished for the season. We have a few rows of fall raspberries including a fall gold and one row or red Polana for picking on soon.
