News From The Farm updated 5/30/08
Lots of exciting things going on!
Our best crop of spinach ever! Ed is working hard to
get veg planted. This week, a new patch cukes,
squash, beans were planted. Our traditional
pumpkin planting on Memorial Day made way for
tomato, pepper, and okra plantings. More lettuce to
go in shortly. We are running low on romaine and
radishes. Get wait to get our first taste of spring
peas. The geese have had their fill with the broccoli,
but the rabbits are enjoying some tender cabbage
greens. We will see what they leave us.
We could always use a helping hand to get the
weeding in. Give us an email jingle, if you would like
to burn some stress while assisting us in feeding
people. Volunteers are always appreciated.
Looking forward to a fruitful season!
Thank you to all our loyal customers.

Last year's farmers market season was a huge success. Thanks to all who
have supported our cause to keep providing local families with CT grown
produce. Best wishes for a happy, healthy new year!
We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to Mindy Fragoso and the Board of Burgesses for attempting to
keep the Naugatuck Farmers Market alive. It was open on Weds downtown on the green across from the town hall.
Although we were not able to attend most of the market this year, we appreciate their effort and hope they continue
