What: Produce
Where: Most of our sales are to the High Falls Coop, Adam’s Fair Acre Farms in Kingston and Saunderskill Farm Market in Accord, although we do some direct sales, I’d like to limit it to the weekends as much as possible due to my time constraints. I’m usually available M – F after 5 PM till dark, Sat & Sun after 1 PM till dark.
About Us and Farming Practices: We’ve been in business since the early ‘60’s (I obtained a DBA from Ulster County late last year) and have always followed the Organic guidelines, although we are not “certified organic”. We raise all of our own seedlings from certified organic seed where possible. Soil amendments include: composted manures, granular lime, blood meal, bone meal, wood ashes, green sand and osomite (pulverized volcanic). If we have an insect infestation which we cannot control mechanically, we may use rotenone as a last resort; I think we used it a few times last year in localized areas of the potatoes and cabbage. My Dad still loves to give tours, and something he calls “nibble walks”. . We generally start picking around mid May and finish up sometime in November, although we had potatoes and winter squash in storage till the first of the year.
