Barker’s Island Farmers’ Market opens for the 2026 season Saturday, May 16, 8:45-noon. We’ll be there with tomato, pepper and herb plants, Maple Syrup, fruit and pepper jam and jelly, BRF Hot Sauce, and some of Josh’s (Dumke Designs) gorgeous woodworking pieces.
Meanwhile on the farm, it’s planting time! Something always seems to come up and we’ve run into an obstacle working up the area planned for cucumbers. Can you see her? The Kildeers tend to pick locations right out in the open and work hard to protect their nests. So, cucumbers have been moved to another field until the little family leaves home. Farming requires a lot of readjusting but also a lot of beauty and joy. We cherish it all. And, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow at the market!❤️🌱
