November/December 2012 Update

Open WEEKENDS for fire wood, squash, apples, cider, etc. The bleakness of winter is upon us. Colder weather, brown grass, leafless trees and snow all add up to say the growing season is certainly over. Note you can still plant your garlic cloves up until the ground freezes and be sure to cover your strawberries with clean straw mulch. On the farm we also cut fire wood, repair our equipment and plan for next year. You can also start planning next year’s garden by browsing seed catalogs or supplier websites for ideas, seeds, methods, supplies and items for your list to Santa. At CN Smith, our farm store is still open WEEKENDS for November and December. We have fire wood for sale, winter squash, apples, cider, jams, jellies, and honey (while supplies last). So stop by and say “hi” and thank you for your support of local agriculture. ~CN Smith Farm

November 2012 Update

The growing season may be over but we still have plenty of our own produce available! What better way to keep warm this time of year than with hot apple pie or fresh pumpkin pie and warm mulled cider? Did you know you can substitute butternut squash for pumpkin in pies, breads and cookies? It tastes virtually the same ! We have plenty of apples for your baking and snacking needs and we press our own cider right here on the farm. So stop by and enjoy some local produce. ~CN Smith
