FARM

Welcome to Fall on the Farm!

We would like to thank everyone for their support and patience through the season. The Farm has gone through many changes and growth these past few months, and we are so fortunate to have such as supportive community. Land's Sake Farm celebrates the bountiful harvest ahead and looks forward to sharing our delicious vegetables with the community.

NOTES FROM THE TEAM

We are beyond grateful to our farmers for working through extensive heat and humidity this past summer in effort to keep our crops thriving. Mother Nature throws some curve balls every year, which is why we are a diversified vegetable farm.

Per our Farm Manager, Brendan: "we plan and plant with built in redundancy. Every year we have some crops that are suited for the conditions and others that are not. This changes from year-to-year and is key to the success of the farm."

Flower Garden Manager JT welcomes fall: "darker skies, cooler mornings, and the increasing presence of plants going to seed all around us are indisputable signs of autumn’s approach. It is the beginning of September every year that seems to stir up the desire to start putting up the harvest in everyone."

"Just like the bees and wasps have become frantic in their efforts to gather up whatever sweetness they can find, us humans are buzzing around, gathering what we can to begin preparations for the long dark winter. Garlic and onions have been cured and stored, potatoes are piling up in the cooler, and tomatoes are finding their ways into jars and onto shelves."

CELEBRATING THE HARVEST MOON

The full Moon that happens nearest to the fall equinox (September 22 or 23) always takes on the name “Harvest Moon.”

Unlike other full Moons, this full Moon rises at nearly the same time—around sunset—for several evenings in a row, giving farmers several extra evenings of moonlight and allowing them to finish their harvests before the frosts of fall arrive. Read more about the Harvest Moon!

FARMSTAND FALL GOODIES

Visit the farmstand in our new barn for the last taste of summer and the start of fall! The corn and tomatoes are nearing the end, but we have tons of pumpkins, squash, and mums available. We are just starting to get into our wide variety of winter squash! Stop by Tuesday - Friday, 11am-6pm, and Saturday/Sunday 10am-3pm (closed on Mondays). Happy Fall!
