Farm happenings for Week of November 2nd

Posted on October 30th, 2020 by Kelly Morris

FALL HOURS: Thursday, 3pm-6pm, Friday 11am-6pm, Saturday 9am-1pm. Like always, feel free to come during any of our open hours. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before we close to allow yourself time to gather your veggies.  

FARM UPDATE: For some of you with every other week veggie pickup, this is your last week! What a year it has been. We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who supported us this season. It was a trying year, but we made it work and even had some fun in the process. It was such an honor for us to be able to grow food for you! You'll be getting a separate email from me this week with a link to an online Year End Survey. Susan also has paper copies. Please submit your surveys by November 20th. Your responses help us plan for next year and shape a veggie program that works better for everyone. We value your feedback!  

ADD ONs and EXTRAS:  The cheese share has ended but we still got the cheese! This week only we are offering a large selection of Hillacres Pride cheeses for purchase as extras. All of the cheeses offered freeze well so stock up on your favorites! The special order cheeses will be available this week only.

Plein Air Art Show in the Homefields office. The show features paintings done on site at Homefields by Plein Air painters from Lancaster County. Hours are Fridays 1pm-6pm, Saturdays and Sundays 11am-3pm through November 8th.
