At the farmers market is Derby from 8-noon on saturdays. Also we are at the Firefly Farmers Market on Sundays 11-2pm.
It has been a pleasure sharing our produce with everyone.

While not as abundant as we had hoped, our beets were tasty.

Gathering some wild bee balm to transplant in our gardens. We also found wild St John's Wart and Blue Vervain on the side of the road around town.

Our cherry tomatoes did well. We had over 6 volunteer tomato plants grow out of our compost pile!

There is always time to help a turtle cross the road.

Greetings from The Shire!
We have been busy building the farm infrastructure and getting all the pieces in place for the season. We are working hard to get our farm stand up and running to provide a convenient place to stop and pickup some produce from the farm.
Some news:

  • This week we will be at the Andover Farmers market in the Plaza Shopping Center on Thursday from 4-7pm located off of N Andover Road and Central.
  • We've added baby red russian kale to our weekly subscription service. $3 for a.25lb bag or $5 for a .5lb bag

Welcome to The Shire!
It has been a busy month here moving into the new house and getting the garden established, we want to share with you some updates.
Picture



























Here you can see that half of the backyard was dug up do to some septic work. While the baron dirt isn't pleasing to the eye, it's a great challenge to see our vison for the property despite it's current state. 

Picture
This is our 50' x 47' garden plot. We put a tarp on the left side to help fight weeds since we wont be planting all those beds just yet. We are slowly but surely getting all of the compost from these piles to where they need to be.
Picture
A closeup of the garden. Rows one and two have just been seeded with spinach and lettuce!

Picture
Microgreen production is going strong! If you want to sign up for a weekly bag, click on "Orders" above. Once the garden starts producing, we'll be offering more of a selection with our weekly orders.
Picture
Thank you for coming to our website. We'll be providing updates to the progress of our farm here.
Sincerely,
Jayme and Taylor
