The stone fruits continue to produce heavily. They will continue to ripen if you leave them in a paper bag on your kitchen counter. The squashes are also very prolific these days. The variety you may not recognize is called patty-pan. They can be used in the same way as other summer squashes. Corn and potatoes are probably a week away. We're offering blackberries as a you-pick bonus this week, so come on out.

About the farm
Great Country Farms is a diversified family farm on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Using sustainable growing practices, we raise 50 to 60 crops each year, which we sell to members and visitors. We believe it is important to make clean, nutritionally vibrant food available to as many people as possible. It is our mission to give people a chance to see how their food grows, and we want to preserve the ecosystem of our soil for future generations.
