Mesclun Mix From June Through September
One of the most popular purchases of our
customers is called mesclun mix. This has become very popular with diet
and health conscious people. Our mesclun mix consists of over 30 different
salad 'greens' grown on the farm and washed, spun dry and bagged for sale.
Naturally Cindy's fruit vinegars go very well on the mesclun. We also
have over 50 different preserves made by Naturally Cindy's. New
last summer is fresh pesto, in season, which has become a real favorite
of our customers.
Spinach or Basil in a Bag From June Through August
Our spinach and basil are very popular with customers as well. We grow them on them on the farm, pick and wash them thoroughly and page them for our customers.
Strawberries in Late June and September to October
Strawberries are clearly one of the favorite fruits grown on the farm. Like all strawberry growers, we have them in abundant supply in late June to the first week or two in July. But we grow a second crop in for the fall. That way, we have nice, fresh strawberries from the field from late August until frost in late October.
Tomatoes from May to October
Customers come from far away
for our extra special tomatoes which are available in late May into late
summer when the field tomatoes come on and are available. Besides looking
beautiful, they are also have a fantastic taste. We grow the following
eight varieties of tomatoes in our greenhouse

Melons From Heaven in the Fall
As you can observe from the
above, we grow many kinds of fruits and vegetables which are very, very
popular with our customers. Another very popular produce is melons. We
grow over 40 varieties of melons. Some are very sweet. Some are very fragrant.
Some are very flavorful. Melons begin to ripen in September and are ready
for picking throughout the fall.
Cucumbers, Beans, Peas, Beets and Potatoes
Of course, we did not forget some of the common vegetables which everyone seems to take for granted. We are referring to cucumbers, beans, peas, beets and potatoes. We grow these and they are ready for pick up at the farm. Beans, peas and beets become available in late June or early July. Potatoes are available in September and October.
