Farm Happenings at Strawberry Hill Farm
Thanksgiving Is Coming
Most Thanksgiving tables include a dish of mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes—or maybe scalloped potatoes or candied sweet potatoes. However you cook them, they’re bound to be delicious. We have both regular potatoes and sweet potatoes on our farm stand this week, just in time for your T1 read more »
Frosty Weather
We’ve had a warm and dry fall this year. The leaves took a long time to show their color, but they finally did and were beautiful. We had no frosts at all until last week, when boom! We had three killing frosts in a row.
This took out a lot of the gardens. No more tomatoes, no more flowers; m1 read more »

The Fall Garden
Things are changing in the gardens now that the nights are growing chilly. We still have tomatoes, but they are winding down.

Eat Your Sweets! (Potatoes, That Is)
Cool weather is coming, and fall crops are coming into their own. This week we have freshly-dug sweet potatoes, one of the most nutritious vegetables you can eat. The kale (another nutrition powerhouse) is producing well, and salad mix and romaine are growing (finally!), but aren’t yet ready1 read more »
Raspberries Going Strong
Our fall crop of red raspberries is at its peak this week, so we have plenty available on the farm stand. We’ve had adequate rainfall and enough sun to grow an abundant crop this year.
Our new row of arugula was ready to cut, so arugula is back on the list. We also have lots of green beans an1 read more »
