The trees continue to age, to date, of the fruit trees, we have just lost two to nature and we have had our first harvest! Vonda and I each ate one apple off a liberty apple tree, (probably a week too early as it turns out) and we had enough crab apples for a 6 jar batch of crab apple jelly.

In 2019, we had 13 products packed into mason jars. Some were experimental recipe testing batches and some were full commercial runs. Each batch was made by hand in our jamming kitchen using our farm produce and finished with a water bath to ensure proper safe preservation. We have had very positive reviews for our products and we hope to
In 2019, we had 13 products packed into mason jars. Some were experimental recipe testing batches and some were full commercial runs. Each batch was made by hand in our jamming kitchen using our farm produce and finished with a water bath to ensure proper safe preservation. We have had very positive reviews for our products and we hope to expand these lines.
Our Jams and Jellies, Pickles and Preserves now include: Spicy Green Beans, Harvest Pickles ( zucchini and cucumber mix, like bread and butter), Salsa ( hot, medium and mild), Cherry Tomato Jam, Sean's Salsa Verde ( with homegrown tomatillos), Sheree's Curry Tomato Relish, Aunt Margaret's Green Tomato Chow, My Grandmother's Cucumber Mustard Pickles, My Cousin's Mustard Beans, Kelsey's Caramel Apple Jelly, Just Apple Jelly, Apple Pie Jelly, Alicia's Red Pepper Jelly, My Jalapeno Jelly, Robin's Rhubarb Delight, and Wild Riley's Blueberry Jam.
But wait there's more!
During a snow storm, we hatched a plan to sell Beer Bread in cute plastic Beer Bottles! When Covid hit, this Bread became a huge success and now we have Plain, Herb, Hot Chili, Onion, Cinnamon and Seasonal offerings!
We started selling homemade soups at the New Glasgow Farmer's Market, a suggestion of the Market manager, and it turns out Darrell is a really good soup chef! So we offer many different soups, fresh and frozen!

Fresh vegetables in season
What does "in season" mean? in 2019, that meant the summer and after the wet spring it was a short summer at that. In 2020, with the addition of season extending covered raised beds and the greenhouse in full swing, and a root cellar and cold room for storage and aging, we will be nearly year round.
We dropped the year round, see the value

We dropped the year round, see the value added story!
However, our farm produce did flourish the summer of 2020, even though we had to constantly chase down water!
