Season: Spring is not too far away, and The Berry Patch is working hard to prepare for a great Farm store season in 2010! We will have our usual array of great fruits and vegetables and have them earlier than ever. Every year we add new products, colors and tastes. Ask us about our "free choice farm share" program. We will again have the largest selection in all of Eastern NY and Western MA. Every year we try several new crops - come see what we have in 2009. Farm Store Hours:10:00 AM to 5:30 PM daily. Products: Locally grown fruits, vegetables and other locally made foods. Most common customer quote: All your produce is just gorgeous!Our motto: “ALWAYS fresh, EXCLUSIVELY local”. You won’t find any Jersey tomatoes or Delaware melons at our stand. You will find fresh cut flowers from our own fields, our own melons (gaining their own special following), Stephentown Sweet Corn, our own cauliflower, and Washington County potatoes. You see, what we don’t grow ourselves, Dale buys from her consulting clients. So she knows exactly what has been done to the crop, because she’s the one advising the growers on how to grow the crops. Whether it’s doing a pre-sidedress nitrate test to reduce fertilizer usage on sweet corn, or releasing trichogramma wasps for a biological control method for European corn borer, Dale knows what is happening in the fields that grow the produce we sell.We also carry Dale’s brother’s maple syrup, cheese, fresh eggs, homemade jam from Beth’s Farm Kitchen in Columbia County NY, and honey from Berlin, NY. We have scrumptious baked goods, such as homemade breads, chocolate chip cookies, and apricot bars. Not only can you get superb produce and other foods, you can get the flowers to dress up your dinner table as well. So if you want to find the best tasting, good-for-you food around, plan to come visit us. Dale is known as the “Pumpkin lady” so be sure to check out our pumpkin selection this fall. We will have all sizes, from “Jack-B-Little” miniature pumpkins (about 3” diameter) to some of the giant pumpkins (100 lbs or so). |
