It's a rainy day!

We are out of greens for a few days.
We have plenty of parsnips, eggs, pork and beef and will re-stock as needed.

If you want a particular cut of beef or pork, or would like a pork bundle, get in touch and we'll get that ready for you.

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES TO ENSURE EVERYONE'S SAFETY:

• One customer at a time.
• Please sanitize your hands before entering the farm stand.
• Hours are 9-6.
• If you see us around, feel free to wave and shout, but please don't try to find us for any reason.  Call or email if you need assistance.
• Payment by card or check is preferred.  We can take credit cards and EBT cards over the phone.  NO CASH PLEASE
• Email is the easiest way to contact us in general. sweetmorningfarm@gmail.com
• HIP is available for vegetables!

We will sanitize and restock a couple times a day.

It's hard to wait for the spring bounty of vegetables but we are working hard to grow lots of good food for you all.

April 11, 2020

We just added 7 more bags of spinach.
That's it for greens for at least a few days but there are lots of eggs, including white ones, parsnips, pork, and beef.

The canopy has been replaced.  Let's hope this one can handle the wind and rain!

The stand is open 9:00 - 6:00.
We sanitize for opening, in the afternoon, and again at closing.
Please remember to follow our safety guidelines (posted at the stand).

Thank you all for your support and consideration.
Together we will get through this challenging time.
Wishing you health and joy,
Your farmers at Sweet Morning Farm

Farm Stand - April 10, 2020

We just put out 12 bags spinach, 4 bags of mesclun, 2 bunches of cilantro, and 8 bags of parsnips.  There are lots of eggs, pork, and beef as well.

There are several dozen all-white eggs, for decorating fun.  Keep in mind that fresh eggs will hard boil but can be very difficult to peel.  

The trick is to steam your hard cooked eggs instead of boiling them.  

Then they peel just fine!

Happy Easter to all who celebrate it.

Happy Weekend to everyone!

Farm Stand update - April 9, 2020

Oops!  It is so rainy and windy today that the canopy over the stand broke down.

We'll fix that up tomorrow when the rain and wind stops and we will also be re-stocking it at that time.  We'll let you know when the stand is safe and stocked for visitors again.

Pork Bundles

We are now offering 20lb pork bundles for $200

This is sort of a happy medium between purchasing a whole hog vs. buying a pound or two at a time.

How it works:  contact us and we'll give you a list of available cuts.   Let us know what you like best, and we'll put together a 20lb mixed bag based on your preferences.  

Most cuts are in stock now, so get in touch to order any time!

2018 in PICTURES

We had a busy year, tried some new endeavors and made new friends.  It was a good year full of food, flowers, family, and friends.  We are looking forward to 2019 and 

wish you a very happy new year!

These pictures show just a few of our activities and joys of 2018.

There was logging around here this year, creating new growing space for vegetables, fruit, and pig.  And and more sunlight and sky!

Chinese Forget-Me-Nots - a new flower and so pretty.

Gladioli!  An experiment this year with a happy outcome.

Winter squash did well this year.

A new fun crop, Extra Dwarf Pak Choy.  More coming in 2019.

We've been working on the perennial flower beds (thank you, Ruth!) and adding new plants as we are able.  These are chrysanthemums.

Our growing family

We raised some ducks in the summer.  Highly entertaining!
