New Signs at the Farm School

This week, we put up new signs with information about the Farm School and all that happens here. We are so excited about the eye-catching colors and the fun insight these signs give about the work we do at BFS.

Harvest Club

Join us Fridays from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. to harvest squash and other fall produce! We'll wash freshly picked vegetables and then stock the farm stand for Saturday. Harvest Club is a lot of fun and we hope to see you there!

Fall Recipes with Farm Stand Ingredients

Stop by the farm stand Saturdays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m.-noon and pick up organically farmed produce and honey. This week, selections include acorn and other types of squash, onions and so much more. These ingredients are perfect for dishes like carrot ginger soup. Jessalyn tried out a recipe this week with farm school carrots and recommends garnishing each bowl with some pesto.
