Vendors Attending Saturday September 23rd:
The Woven Farm of Whitehall
Happy Monday!
September is cruising right on by and the field is showing signs of slowing down ( for summer crops anyway!)
In the hustle and bustle of the season, I forgot to mention to folks that I’ve picked up a full time job in hopes of getting a deep well dripped on the farm sooner, rather than later. It’s been a balancing act keeping the farm thriving while simultaneously stepping away from the majority of the day, but we are making it happen!
With that said, I’ll be sticking with walk up sales for the next several weeks to make market harvest a bit easier!
I’ve been working hard to flip many summer crops into fall roots and greens in hopes that there will be veggies well into the snowy season – this weekend while in the field I found a handful of wooly bear caterpillars that featured lots of brown, leading to signs that there will be a mild winter (and an extended season ahead!)
Looking forward to seeing you all Saturday!
Cheers to good growing!

Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Hello :-),
I’m looking forward to fall after a fairly hectic pace all summer. There is usually a brief reprieve from flies and other summer nuisances before the shoveling and fight for liquid water sets in. The birds in the brooder should be able to tolerate the lower temperatures in 4-6 weeks. A minimum of 70 degrees is my target temperature for them this week.
We will accept orders until 5pm on Friday. If you miss the deadline or prefer to shop in person, I do bring a selection of what’s available every Saturday. I will try to get totals emailed out by 9:30pm on Friday. If you don’t get a response from me, please contact me. We accept cash or check payable to Pine Row Farm.
