News from the Barn
It is sweet corn season and I know everyone has been
stocking up on salt, butter and dental floss in anticipation. Marini’s Farm Stand has exactly what you’re
looking for this season with plenty of corn to go around as well as a few items
you might not be able to find in our share room. As many of you know in years past we have
purchased corn directly from Marini’s Farm to include in our share and some of
you are probably curious as to why we have moved away from that practice this
season. Logistically having sweet corn
in the share was becoming a larger and larger struggle on our end with our
limited ability to spare crew members for a pickup and our even more limited
cooler space. Although Marini’s Farm and
Mike Marini specifically have always been extremely friendly and accommodating
with us I got the sense that our order were just large enough to cut into their
wholesale orders while not quite being large enough to really be worth the trouble. My hope is that if you have a hankering for
sweet corn this season you will head over to Marini’s Farmstand and spend a
little extra time and money within your local farming community. Helping
to support our farming community is an important part of our mission: a goal I
hope to touch on more in my posts over the next couple weeks. Until then make sure to get yourself over to
259 Linebrook Rd in Ipswich for your sweet corn fix.
