The Farm Store

Opens Friday!

Opening day is Friday May 9th, then hours are as follows:

We are all very excited to see you, our neighbors and customers, and hope you will stop by for a quick hello! So many new items will be available for purchase this season; flour, bread, coffee, meat, dairy, and more! There will also be plant starts for your gardens and hanging baskets for your porches.

And yes, we will be implementing measures to keep everyone safe - please keep an eye out for our blackboard outside the store with details. Since we know not everyone is able to come in and shop we will still be taking online orders for pick-up at our farm store. We are continuing drop-offs at North Plain Farm and will have a brand new online store up and running for the first GB Farmers Market on Saturday, May 16th!

The store is currently getting a much needed spa week.

And what have we been up to on the farm this past month? Well, for starters, we’ve had some of the worst weather in recent memory. The constant rain has kept us out of the fields, the cold April after such a pleasant March has very much upset all the plants in the ground, and we are dearly overdue for a few weeks worth of transplanting. Can’t say it could’ve been much worse, but we’ve been able to sneak in a little field work here and there and spend some nice days in the greenhouse seeding delicious summer crops.

Not to mention you have all been keeping us VERY busy with your orders! Thank you for shopping with us these past few weeks, learning the ropes of a completely new system has been such a wild ride and your enthusiasm has been heartwarming.

If you have not ordered through us yet scroll down to the bottom for a store link and important ordering details!

The Farm Store - Online!

Well well well… can’t say I ever thought we would have an online store, but here we are! Right now you can order for pick-up at two locations; our farm store in Hudson and North Plain Farm in Great Barrington. Beginning the week of May 11th you’ll be able to place orders for pickup at the GB Farmers Market. Please take note that we will be selling products from these other vendors as well: The Sweetish Baker, Les Collines Preserves, Six Depot Coffee, Tienda Salsita and Jacuterie. [Jacuterie will be taking and processing the orders so please visit their site to shop online, for everyone else you will be able to order through us.]

Important things to know for ordering:

-North Plain Farm pickups are scheduled for Wednesdays and Fridays, please order by 5pm Monday and 5pm Wednesday.

-Farm Store pickups will very soon change from Tuesday - Saturday to Thursday - Monday, same hours as our farm store schedule.

-Please write your pickup location and day in the “Note to seller” box during checkout. This will not be needed once we switch over to the new website, but for now it’s an essential piece of information.

-Please read all the notes at the top of the checkout and on your order confirmation email, it will answer most of the questions you might have regarding pick-up.

-If you are ordering perishable items (i.e. yogurt, cheese, baby greens etc…) please arrive as soon as possible to pickup your box. This is especially true of pickups at North Plain Farm as there is no option to store your items in a cooler. For the store, if you are unable to pickup in the morning, please make a note in the “note to seller” section so we may hold your order in our cooler.

-If you have any issues please text me as soon as possible. My cell is 305-389-5332. I generally advise you not to call as there is always a strong chance my hands are too busy or too muddy to pick up the phone.

Thank you all so much and I hope to see some of your lovely (masked) faces at the store this weekend!

Much love,

Maria

And before I forget…Peanut says hi!
