Martin's Farmstand

Hello folks! In addition to the normal produce we have available, we also have both Duck and Chicken eggs available once again! Duck eggs are limited in qty. However we have lots of chicken eggs available. We hope to see you today!

The farm stand is open this afternoon from 12 to 5 pm. Spring is here and we have received some much needed rain! We harvested fresh garlic scallions, overwintered spinach and chives this morning from the outdoor gardens. Next I will head over to the greenhouse for more greens and to our sugar bush to harvest ramps (wild leeks). This will all be at the stand along with assorted root crops from winter storage. The bulk food room is stocked with spices, beans, oatmeal, flour and more. Asparagus harvest is coming soon. 18 out of the 20 years I have been growing asparagus the first significant harvest is in the first week of May. This year feels like it could be on the early side but I would not bet on it. Daniel

Good morning Northern NY! We have more Swiss Chard, Beet Greens, Cilantro and lettuce from the greenhouse in addition to freshly clipped Onion Tops! The stand will be open from 12 pm to 5 pm and we have plenty of produce and the bulk food room is stocked. It has been a beautiful week and the landscape is turning green as spring progresses. We hope to see you all this afternoon as you enjoy this beautiful day.

Hello folks! We are open today from 12 pm to 5 pm. We have limited quantities of select greens available from the greenhouse and onion tops in addition to our normal weekly selection. The farm is buzzing with activity in anticipation of may when the stand will open full time is concert with the asparagus harvest. The stand and greenhouse are warm despite the outdoor temperatures and the sun is shining. We hope to see everyone this afternoon!

3/26/2021 Spring is coming. Yesterday I planted the first planting of peas. They should be ready for picking in 80-90 days from now. The farm stand will be open this afternoon from 12:30-5 PM. There is lettuce and swiss chard and a few bunches of cilantro at the stand today along with onion tips and the normal carrots, potatoes, beets etc. We planted various greens in the solar greenhouse last fall (early November). During the cold ,dark part of the winter they looked terribl...e but they lived and are finally ready for harvest. It is time to clip the tips off of the young onion seedlings in the greenhouse to help make a strong seedling with a thick enough stem to be nice to handle when transplanting. Clipping also helps keep them from falling over in the seedling trays which has various negative implications. These clippings have a lovely mild onion flavor. This morning I had them with my eggs for breakfast. They are also lovely in potato salads, sandwiches etc. If we do not eat them they just go to waste in a time of the year that anything green is precious. Today at the farm stand we will be giving a free sample handful of these onion tips to anyone who wishes to try them. Enjoy. Daniel See more
