Happy Halloween from BFS

This ghost just might have been caused by the shadow from the scale...

Farm School Ghost!

Happy Halloween from BFS's resident ghost (pictured here peeking out from under the farm stand). We've been assured this ghost is a friendly, kind ghost, so don't hesitate to stop by the farm stand this weekend and say hello!

This Weekend at BFS

In preparation for winter and the cold setting in, volunteers have been hard at work sowing cover crop. In the meantime though, we've enjoyed all the beautiful weather this season of change brings. It's so wonderful to keep planting well into autumn; join us this weekend as we plant garlic! It might be our first frost of the season, so make sure to bring layers and dress accordingly.
