Our Take & Bake program begins Friday January 24, 2020 and will run each Friday through April 24, 2020. 


The program allows us to stay connected with our community over the winter when the garden is quiet and the market is closed. We look forward to bringing you a unique menu of goodies to choose from each week, including fresh local eggs from Eggceptional Abilities as well as honey straight from our hives here at the farm.  


The new menu is posted each Friday afternoon. Order Friday-Monday for pick-up the following Friday.
