The taste and look of summer is just around the corner! Check out our photos below!
We are busy every day seeding, transplanting, and pruning our super delicious berries and vegetable crops. The first tomatoes will get planted in the ground in the greenhouse next week, cucumbers will follow them, the strawberry leaves are sprouting, and we are pruning away in the blueberries.
That means it’s time to sign up for our Free Choice Farm Share program! Send us an email to theberrypatchny@gmail.com for a brochure that describes the program. Get the best pesticide-free berries, vegetables, cut flowers, and perennial plants that you find anywhere! You can use it at our farm store in Stephentown AND at our booth at the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market.
This year we are expanding our list of perennial flowers that will be for sale - focusing on plants that are excellent for butterfly and bee food and habitat.
If you are looking for ExcludeNet insect exclusion netting for your large garden or as a commercial grower, click on the “Berry Netting” tab above or send us an email through the “Contact” tab above. We will have a good supply of 6.5’ and 13’ wide x 320 feet long rolls of SWD/Cucumber Beetle exclusion netting at the end of March.
We are the first farm in the country to cover our entire blueberry and raspberry plantings with a fine mesh netting to exclude a tiny invasive insect that would ruin our crops or require us to spray every 5-7 days. Dale-Ila is the creator of this innovative technique and is teaching growers throughout the country that this technique works while providing pesticide-free berries to you!
Thank you for your support this year!
Located in Stephentown, NY and at the Troy Farmer’s Market
