Goats like mulching strawberries, too!

Strawberries are tucked in for the winter!

Hale warms up by the woodstove.

Closing in on the end of the season...

We'll be open Monday through Thursday this week. Pie pickup is Wed and Thur.
There are still apples available...great for keeping the cookies at bay!
Canned Peaches , Applesauce, 7 varieties of Jam and Apple Butter---we have you covered.

Hale is hoping xmas comes early with a coat this year!
Last CIDER pressing is this week. Stock up and maybe freeze some so you are set for the next few weeks. It's delicious with those Gold Rush in it!
I hope to be open a few Saturdays in January if there are apples left. See you then!

Dinners on the farm!

It's official! We're scheduled to host on September 19. Hamilton's Grill Room is going to create a fabulous menu and Crossing Vineyards will supply the wine for each course. The start time is early to fit in a farm tour by Gary and cocktails and appetizers before the big dinner. We've decided that any profit from the dinner will go towards the watershed education and farm programs at Bucks County Audubon located just around the corner.

FUN at the FESTIVAL!

Hayrides to the orchard were very popular

and everyone enjoyed picking peaches

and seeing the farm.

Matt and Willy made some great smoothies!

Anya cooked up some great peach recipes:

Peach Gazpacho, Baked Peaches with cookie filling

and Salsa. Susan and Curt kept the chopped peaches coming and helped with cooking questions.

Dogs really had their day.

Wow, it was an Amazing Maze!








.

Pick Your Own Blackberries

were a big hit!

Amanda did some amazing face painting!











No pressure today, everybody just enjoyed the day.

Can't go wrong with Peach ice cream.
