Farm Stand Now Open on Weekends!
Hi folks,
We will have our farm stand open to the public on weekends, starting this Saturday. Our hours are 8AM to dusk, Saturday & Sunday only. Please do not take things from our weekday CSA pick-ups (Monday/Friday)!!
The stand is self serve, so please bring appropriate change or a check. We will do our best to post what will be available each weekend. Any questions, give us a call at 860-933-5842.
This weekend we will have summer squash, zucchini, basil, swiss chard, fresh garlic, and possibly a few others!
Straw in the barn
Got our straw in the barn last week! We lease fields in Ashford so we can grow our own no-spray rye straw for mulching tomatoes, garlic, etc.
CSA starting soon!
Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that our CSA will be starting next week (week of Monday, May 29, Tuesday, May 30, and Friday, June 2). We will also be holding an open house from 2-6PM on Sunday, May 28 at the farm.
Storrs Market Opening Day!
Stop by the Storrs Farmers Market today for some fresh head lettuce and spinach from Willow Valley Farm! We will be there (Mansfield Town Hall) from 3-6PM, rain (or wind) or shine!
Spring!
Cabbage transplants, just about ready to go in the field! Also a section of our solar heat gathering water tanks in the corner, and our “soon to be installed” solar hydronic panels towards the back.
CSA Deadline Approaching!
Thank you to those of you who have signed up for our 2017 CSA season! If you, or anyone you know, would like to sign up and have not already, please note that our deadline is April 1. Here is a link to our online application:
We have lots of seedlings started in our greenhouse, including onions, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cabbage, brussels sprouts, herbs, lettuce, kale, and more! Our peas are up and growing in the high tunnel, despite the inclement weather. Lots of things waiting to go in the ground as soon as conditions allow. We are planning to have another spring open house this year, sometime around the start of the CSA. We will keep you updated!
