Though we grow winter squash in the summer and store it for the winter season, it has a sort of seasonality too. Each type we grow has peak flavor and storage qualities that we optimize by the time that we offer them. Delicata, Acorn, Sugar Dumpling, Sugar Pie Pumpkin About: These types of winter squash...Continue Reading
We’re all about extending the growing season in the Hudson Valley as much as we possibly can. For us, this isn’t limited to just growing in the winter, but also extending the season to grow crops that aren’t traditionally grown here. This spring, after we had cleared our winter spinach high tunnel, we planted it...Continue Reading
Did I know what daikon was the first time I saw it? I don’t remember. Probably not, and I realize now that it is the least recognizable root we offer, often confused with parsnips! (I personally think we need to grow some stranger roots to remedy this situation!) Well, these aren’t parsnips, and don’t taste them...Continue Reading

They are the longest season crop we grow-the first to start in the greenhouse in late February, the first to transplant outdoors with our onions, and the last thing we harvest in November. I’ve never been satisfied with the...Continue Reading
I really do love vegetables–all the vegetables. I appreciate each variety we grow and what makes each one unique. But sometimes, I really do just love to mix them all together! When I want a huge bowl of steaming and flavorful greens, or have a lot to use up, this is how I prepare them....Continue Reading
Parsnips are the best fall root. I am not kidding. They aren't eaten raw, and they take a VERY LONG TIME to grow, so you don't really eat them any other season except fall and winter, and with the onset of cold temperatures, their warm and inviting flavor is welcome.Continue Reading
