Autumn on the Farm
Fall is the season when many farms go into maintenance mode as they prepare to hibernate through the cold months. Repairs are made, brush is cleared, and things are put away. We do our share of that, but with our primary crops being evergreens, Fall is a time of great activity as we ready the farm for visitors and the trees for sale. Though we change very little around here, it does take a lot of work for our small group to get the place in order.
Even so, we still have several Saturday and Sunday farmer’s markets remaining! Our shiitake mushroom crop is doing well and we still have squash, beans, potatoes and onions from the garden. Free range eggs, a wide variety of jams, local honey, beeswax candles and catnip toys can also be found on our table. Look for us on Fifth St. in Warrenton on Saturday mornings (7-12) and at Clevenger’s Corner on Rte. 211 on Sunday afternoon (1-5).
Also, if you have questions about the farm or something we produce, don’t hesitate to send an email to oakshadefarm@gmail.com. Short of coming to see us at market, this is the surest and fastest way to get a response!
