Busy, busy!

You have to love this sunshine!  We are now open at both farm stands and the crops are looking great!  Today is the first day that our pickling cucumbers are available!  Great in salads or even on their own with a little vinegar, salt and pepper.  Yum!  

Our Veggie Club specials for the week are:

Lettuce $1.75 per head

Scallions $1.99 per bunch

Strawberries $4.50 per quart

Winthrop Farm Stand - Now Open!

This posting is a little late, but we are now open at Stevenson Farm Stand in Winthrop!  We will be open daily from 10am to 7pm throughout the season.  Levesque's Farm Stand in Leeds will be opening this Monday, June 27th for the season.  The hours are 9am to 6pm daily.

We have some exciting new additions to our offerings at the farm stands this season:

• A new bakery, Law Mountain Wreaths 'n' Bakery,  is providing pies, cookies, brownies, whoopie pies, and fresh donuts!  They are located in Wilton, ME and we are very excited about all of the yummy sweets they have to offer.  Please ask us about any special orders you may want. 
• This will be our first year providing you with our own farm fresh eggs!  This winter 100 baby chicks arrived to the farm.  They are now only days away from laying eggs, and we hope to have both farm stands fully stocked with a steady inventory of local eggs for you to enjoy. 
• Another new addition to our repertoire is garlic.  We planted bulbs last fall and will be harvesting a bountiful garlic crop this year. 
• Tom's Own Sweet Potatoes will be at our stands in the fall!

We are very excited about all of the new fresh produce and foods that we have to offer you this season.  We always welcome your feedback and look forward to seeing you at the farm stands!

Busy on the farm!

The opening of our Winthrop farm stand is only about a month away!  We are busy transplanting seedlings from the greenhouse into our fields.  Now all we need is some sun!  Please remember that the deadline to sign up for the Veggie Club (which is offered at both of our farm stands) is May 31st!  Please email us at stevensonfarms@myfairpoint.net for an application or more information.  Here are some pictures of what Tom and the crew are up to this week!
