Spring is almost here! Certainly this winter has been pretty fair..especially after last year's but one thing we havent seen yet is flowers in bloom! Well why not satisfy that craving with a trip to the Boston Flower and Garden Show, March 14 thru 18th, at the Seaport World Trade Center. Look for Smith Farm's booth and get a jump on your spring garden planning. Goto http://www.masshort.org/Blooms-and-the-Boston-Flower-&-Garden-Show for more information. Hope to see you there.

mid October update 2011

Pick your own apple/pumpkin status:

Apple picking is closed.
Thanks to everyone who came out and helped make this year's apple harvest a success! We had a record Columbus Day weekend with all 3 days' weather remaining perfect and enough apples to make it through the entire weekend. We still have our own apples available in the farmstand and our own fresh pressed cider.

Pumpkin pick your own continues.
Jump on a hayride on the weekend and you can pick your own pumpkin right out of the field...a great way for kids to see just where they come from! Or if you prefer, rumage through our already picked piles right at the farmstand all week long.

Other events:
Our Hallo-Lantern hayrides continue again this year later in the month. Look for updates to this blog for specific dates and times or call our farmstand (see website for number).

The farmstand has all of our own fresh produce including our own just harvested potatoes, winter squash, apples, cider, and tomatoes and even eggs from our own flock fo chickens. We also have cider donuts, fresh pastries, jams, jellies, pickles, and other assorted items. We have cornstalks, hay bales, and other ghoulish decorating items for sale as well. Be sure to check out the spooktacular greenhouse! For the gardener, we have fetilizer, lime and winter rye seed and more...

Columbus Day update

Our Harvest Hoedown continues on Columbus Day Oct 10 (see description in previous post). As far as apple pick your own...we will have apples to pick on Monday for part of the day. We will be picking our "pot luck" orchard. What this means is there are apples to pick but no gaurantee of what variety is available. Additionally apple picking may or may not last all day. It all depends on the amount of people who come out to pick. If you miss out on apple picking we do have our own fresh apples already picked in the store. The other festivities will continue such as hayrides, pumpkin picking, music, food, pony rides etc. until closing time (4 pm). Have a safe holiday and thanks for supporting your local family farm.
