Every growing season has its own unique rhythm, and this year, Mother Nature is taking us on a traditional timeline!
While we are running a tiny bit behind our previous early harvest seasons, everything is growing beautifully at its own steady pace. At the start of the year, we needed to step away to tend to some of life’s eventful moments, which gave our planting a slightly later start. Because those family commitments are still keeping us a bit busy, we won't be setting up our stand at the South Paris Farmers Market for the time being. We will certainly miss seeing your smiling faces there every week, but we are so grateful for your understanding!!
As our harvest continues to grow bigger and stronger, we will be loading the online store with tons of goodies. In the meantime, the very first treats of the season are officially live!
Head on over to the website to check out our initial listings and grab a little taste of the season!

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the garden is absolutely bursting with life! We are so excited to share what’s growing, blooming, and buzzing around here lately.
Our shell peas and snap pea plants are thriving, and we officially have our very first snap pea blooms! There is nothing quite like seeing those first little blossoms to get the excitement going.
Alongside a sea of happy annual flowers, our gladiolus are up. We took a little gamble and left last year’s bulbs in the ground over the winter—and guess what? They loved it! Most of them have popped right up, putting us on track for a wonderfully early harvest. Just to be safe, we had also planted a fresh new batch this spring, so we are going to be absolutely swimming in glads. We hope you love them as much as we do—the hummingbirds will be buzzing enjoying these for a summer-long feast!
Our tomato and pepper plants are setting fruits, green bean plants are up, potato plants are up, and we will finish hilling and mulching them shortly. All the crucifer plants are growing well,
Our melon, cucumber and squash plants are tucked into the ground, though they aren’t the biggest fans of these scorching summer days. Their tender young leaves tend to take a little midday siesta and droop, but they perk right back up when the sun goes down!
Our blueberry bushes were covered in beautiful blossoms, and have set fruit, it looks like we should have a decent harvest this season.
Speaking of the garden, we do have a mysterious little garden visitor! We haven't caught a glimpse of our furry friend on the game camera yet, but the wonderful news is that there’s zero plant damage so far. We are keeping our fingers crossed for a peaceful co-existence this year!
We are thrilled to be delivering fresh, gorgeous bouquets to Cooper Farm Stand! This week’s star players are stunning peonies and elegant foxgloves, mixed with a beautiful blend of other seasonal perennial blooms.
Currently, we are making deliveries on Thursdays and meeting customers at drop points.
A Quick Note on Timing: Our exact times flutter around a bit from week to week as we coordinate around driving commitments for a family member. We so appreciate your flexibility!
