Hi everyone!
Our u-pick has been having an overwhelming response thus far! The u-pick is closed today to give the berries a little more time to ripen up, hopefully we will have both locations opened tomorrow;weather and berry depending. Please remember to always call in before getting ready to pick as sometimes the u-pick is not open all day everyday. Give us a shout at 747-FARM (3276) and one of our friendly staff members will let you know!
See you soon!

Hello Everyone!
It has been slow starting off this year with the weather, but now things are starting to get into full swing! Our 8 Greenhouses and cold frames that were once filled to the brim with flowers are now down to less than 3! The bakers in the bakery have been kept more than busy with keeping the delicious bread and pastries on the shelves. The boys in the field have started to harvest some crops such as lettuce, spinach, and broccoli as well we have had a few strawberries in the past week!
Hopefully if everything keeps going at this steady pace we will have our strawberry u-pick open very soon, possibly in the next week to two weeks. So get your buckets ready because there are more berries than ever before! Well keep you updated on dates and crops! but in the meantime, do not forget to come and visit our animals! Ester our new pot belly pig is settling in well, the baby goats who were born in April love to entertain people, and we also have a few new baby rabbits for you to see!
See you soon!

Hello Everyone!
What a past few weeks we've seen! But despite the unpredictable weather plans for the upcoming year are continuously ongoing! And boy, do we have some great ideas to share with you!
As of now, the market itself is still open from Friday to Sunday 10-5. We do still have some of our own vegetables, but our more leafy crops such as lettuces are being replaced with imported produce until we can provide you with our own again this summer! As well, for you flower lovers and those with a knack for having your own veggie or herb garden we are now in the process of ordering our seeds. Soon it will be time for us to head to the greenhouses and begin planting for the 2011 season!
Of course, we are always trying to find ways to improve our farm market, and this year we already have some great ideas in mind! We will keep you posted, but we also do not want to ruin any surprises for you! But please do check back for updates on when we are opening as well as other updates about the farm.
We have a busy week ahead of us here at the farm! With that, we will talk to you soon!

Happy October Everyone!
Even though fall is all around us the boys in the field are still bringing in lots of fresh veggies daily! How nice it is to be able to still eat fresh local veggies at this time of year! Our pumpkins are also making their way down to our pumpkin patch! So come along and pick out your perfect pumpkin!! If you do purchase your pumpkin now, just remember to keep it in a warm place especially at night; porches or garages are perfect homes to pumpkins! As well, even though it is very tempting to carve your masterpiece in your beautiful pumpkin, do not pierce or carve your pumpkin until about 3 or 4 days before Halloween. And a little tip, to help your pumpkin keep its shape, put Vaseline along all of the cuts that you make!
Speaking of pumpkins, we now have a schedule for our annual Pumpkinfest! This years pumpkinfest will be held on Saturday, October 16 from 10 to 4. There will be many day long events such as the gourd toss, bouncy castle, wagon rides, seed spitting as well as face painting. Here is a list of special events and contests that will be held throughout the day!
11:30 Pie Eating Contest
12:30 Scarecrow Making Contest (We provide the supplies! Just bring your creativity!)
1:30 Pie Eating Contest
2:30 Hot Pepper Eating Contest (with a cash prize of $500.00!)
3:30 Judging of the Pumpkin Carving Contest (pumpkins can be carved throughout the day)
Wow! What fun! where else can you go to experience all of these fun events? And best of all, come in your costume for Halloween!
The Pumpkinfest is in support of the R.E.A.L Program as well as the Mount Pearl Sport Alliance, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to these programs, it's a way for us to give back to the community! The admission for this years Pumpkinfest is $3.00 per child, $5.00 per adult, or you can buy a family pass for$15.00 for a family of 5.
See you all soon!
