Fresh Cut Flowers

The summer heat is upon us, and the heat has lots of great produce ripening in the field. We are picking Corn, Squash,  Beets, Peas, Snap Peas, Green Beans, and Fresh Cut Flowers. George will soon be planting Cauliflower, Cabbage, Broccoli ,Collards and Kale for the fall. It is nice for the ground to have dried up so he can plant like crazy. We certainly had our share of rain.

We are at the Woodmont Farmers Market this year on Wednesdays from 3:30-6:30. It is at the Robert Treat Farm located at the corner of Merwin and New Haven Avenue in Milford. It is a great place to have a market, Mary Treat has her farm looking so beautiful! Pretty soon peaches will come and we will have lots to sell at the market.

We have spring onions now as well. I made a dish last week with the spring onions, peas, golden zucchini, and the ButterKase Cheese and put it over pasta. Wow! Delicious.  The veggies are so wonderful now, you do not need a lot to make your meals delicious. I have lots of recipes in the store for you to take home. Tonight I made Zucchini Lasagna, where you substitute thinly sliced zucchini for the pasta noodles. Yum!

The baby goats were named, Pixie and Trixie. They are adapting well to their new environment. They are climbing the tower and jumping all around! Come and see them. They love the goat crackers. Hope to see you soon.

It sure has been a busy few weeks. We just got through pruning our Peach Trees (The snow held us back a bit), and we had to get the stand ready. We have lots of great new products in the stand, new Cheese, flavored almonds, Dip mixes, new gift items, lots more! I have been using the dip mixes to flavor all kinds of food. I used the Chipoltle Garlic on my turkey Breast and grilled, and I just used the Mediterranian  with fresh tomatoes on my chicken and baked it. Yummy! We have lots of great produce including native Spinach and our own Asparagus.

We had a new arrival of 2 baby girl goats. They are adorable. Our neighbors Allison and Jeff raised them , and they are only 2 months old! We are having a contest to name the little sweeties. Come in the stand this weekend to enter your names. If we pick your names, you win a $25.00 Hindinger Farm gift certificate. They are happy in the new pen we built. They don’t realize yet, but they have the best view of New Haven in town!.

We are planting away like crazy! Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant, Cut flowers and Kohlrabi just went into the ground. Our Corn , Beans, Peas and Cucumbers are already up and running. We plant these crops frequently so we have plenty to last the summer and fall. Hope to see everyone soon! It is great to see everyone again, and check out how big all the kids got!
