At the Farmstand: December 21-Jan 2

Happy Solstice!  The days may be short, but hopefully that allows for some additional time for long, slow cooking meals and the farmstand is stocked and ready for that as well as for those quick meals one needs as you prepare for the holidays.The farmstand is now restocked with Maple Breakfast Sausage, Christmas Sausage and even a small batch of our Heirloom Tomato Bloody Mary Mix and egg shortage is officially over!  Also restocked with beef cuts from 100% grassfed Greenfield Highland Beef. (check out their new website!)And to help out with those holiday gift needs we have: Holiday gift baskets, our own Popcorn!, even in gift bags & festively tagged canned goods as well as beeswax candles and homemade soap from Brookfield Bees.*There will be some mix of fresh greens available, but until today's solstice sun gets up higher and warms the hoophouses & greens, we won't know for certain what and how much we can harvest, though volumes will be limited.  See story from farm for more details.  12/28 Update: Due to the severe cold snap we will not be able to do any harvesting this week, so most of the fresh greens are gone already, but there are a few things left. This week at our Farmstand you can find:
