Spring greens are here! Warm sunny days last week meant a lot of growth for the arugula and spinach in our high tunnels so we have an unexpected crop of early greens ready for harvest! Greens and beets will be available on our online store starting at 2pm today, Thursday April 1st for pre-order for pick-up tomorrow, Friday April 2, 2pm-6pm. Ordering will remain open until Friday at 6am. The link for the online store is: https://openfoodnetwork.net/barrett-s-mill-farm/shop#/shop. First select your pick-up time (Friday 2pm-4pm or 4pm-6pm) and then the items available will appear on the page. All payments must be made by credit card, as we are not yet set up to take Barrett’s Bucks orders (Barrett’s Bucks members will be able to begin using their credit when we open in May). Pick-up will be on the porch of the farm stand. Please wear a mask.
Available for pre-order starting at 2pm today for pick-up Friday April 2, 2021

We will be open regularly starting in early May when the tulip, daffodil and asparagus harvests begin! At that time we will have more high tunnel greens, microgreens, and the first seedlings available! By June we will be up and running with a staffed farm store and CSA beginning June 8th! While the CSA is sold out we do still have a few Barrett’s Bucks memberships available. Those that sign up before April 15th will receive a bonus credit added to their account (details available here: http://www.barrettsmillfarm.com/barretts-bucks).
Next up - field crops! This field is being prepped for seeding the first outdoor carrots and beets.
