June 1st means the red barn is open‼️

Happy first day of produce season!
Our hours will be as follows:
Mon- Sat 12-6 PM
Sun 12-4 PM

Please remember we are a locally grown and raised produce and meat operation. We only source what we grow ourselves or can get from fellow local farms. The variety in the stand will continue to grow as the season goes on but we are super excited to get started with strawberries and some fresh veggies this season! 🍓🥗🥒🍅🥔🥬🧅🧄🥬🍒🧀🍳
