The Little Farmer's Blog!

Hi there everyone!
We are some of the proud workers at Lester’s Farm Market. Since we love working on the farm so much we figured that we would share with you the ongoing and upcoming events and crops that we get to endure each and every day!

Our 2010 season has had a bright beginning. So far we have an impressive variety of lettuces such as boston, french iceberg, iceberg, green leaf, two types of red leaf, as well as romaine. The sunny weather has also brought us veggies such as green onion, radishes, spinach, swiss chard, and local greens. For the first time this season we will be having a limited supply of our very own new potatoes starting this Saturday, July 24th!

We are proud to announce that our strawberry season has started, and we must say they are delicious! This year we have expanded our strawberry crops so there are plenty of berries to go around. Our u-pick on Heavy Tree Road will open 10am on Tuesday July 20th. As well our u-pick on Brookfield Road will open this Friday, July 23rd at 10am. Since it is still very early in the season our supply starting off will be limited. As a result, the u-pick will be open while quantities last so we advise you to call beforehand.

An “eggcelent” addition to our market this year is our homegrown, fresh brown eggs. They are carefully collected everyday to ensure that they maintain their scrumptious taste!

And as always we have our delicious ice cream with a wide variety of hard serve flavors, slushies to quench your thirst, and our unforgettable soft serve. We also have a selection of annuals, perennials, and shrubs so stop in and take a look around our garden center. And lastly but definitely not least, our animals in the petting barn are anxiously waiting for your visit! Come and see our animals such as Eeyore the donkey and Tetley the potbelly pig; they will keep you entertained all visit long!

So far it has been a busy, but exciting season. With fresh picked veggies served in a family environment with homegrown smiles there is always something to do on the farm! But it doesn’t stop there! So come along and visit us on the farm! Hope to see you all soon!

Your Friendly Little Farmer Bloggers,
Ashley, Kate, and Susan
