Our produce is available for sale directly from the farm and at the Chestertown Natural Foods. The list of current availability is online here. To order, please download and email back the completed excel sheet from our website, and I will follow up with a phone call confirmation and will take payment by credit card. We'll then pack it up and have it labeled and ready for you to pick up at your requested pick-up day and time from our Farmstand Fridge out front. Thank you for your patience as we implement this new system of selling our produce.
We have been seeding and potting up herb and vegetable transplantsto have ready for you to plant in your own home gardens. This year, all of our plants in 4" containers are growing in peat pots which can be planted directly into the soil to reduce the amount of plastic. O
