Harvest Feast

How do we celebrate a season filled with great harvests?  With a great harvest feast of course.  We are planning just such an event for Sunday October 18th.  The Appleton Farms CSA Harvest Potluck Dinner will include lawn games, cider pressing, and live music from our favorite bluegrass trio, Old Cold Tater.  This is a chance to gather as a community and toast the farm, the farmers and the food before we all go into hibernation for the cold months ahead.  While you might expect to pay several hundred dollars for a plate at an event such as this we are keeping the price the same as it has always been; just bring your favorite entrĂ©e, side dish or desert and enough to share with a crew of ravenous farmers.  Please feel free to BYOB.  We are hosting the potluck in the Carriage Barn and paddock again this year.  I hope to see many of you there and I cannot wait to try all of the dishes you bring with you. 

As the offerings in the PYO fields have dwindled with the season so too has the need for Saturday morning PYO hours.  Now that we are down to just parsley it doesn’t make sense to open on Saturdays anymore for the duration of the season.  If you need parsley please make sure to grab some when you come to pick up your share.


Thanksgiving share sales are well underway at this point.  We sold quite a few in the first couple weeks but we still have plenty available.  If you are interested in purchasing a Thanksgiving share make sure to get your signup form in as soon as you can.  I will continue posting about the Thanksgiving shares as long as they are still available but I do expect them to sell out.
