This year on the farm has been marked with a significant amount of growth in our endeavors, and we are not done yet. We are thrilled to announce our participation in CT Farm Fresh Express! Last year, we went to a showing of the documentary American Meat in Stonington. While there, we got to hear about a lot of other farms, bigger and smaller than us, with similar goals in mind. Deb Marsden, the founder of CT Farm Fresh was also there to talk about a service she provides. Participating farms let CTFFE know what products they have available on a weekly basis. She then lists them on her store and from Thursday to Tuesday, people can shop from local farms while sitting at home. For many families, this is a fabulous way to support local farms and have faith in the food being served to their family. Then on Tuesday, the orders close, the farms get notified of their orders, and she sends out the pickup crew to collect, assemble, and distribute the orders!
For our farm, it is a fabulous opportunity to slowly expand our passion. We will still offer our products for sale directly off the farm, and we will continue to have our advance purchase options. Email us if you want to be included on future notifications about these opportunities. But, if there are some other farm fresh items you would like to try, but don’t have time to search the farmer’s markets yourself, check out CT Farm Fresh Express!
