Riversong Farm & Gardens

Directions

Riversong Farm & Gardens Formerly Harvest Time Produce & Pumpkins for nearly three decades, we now begin a new chapter as Riversong Farm under the next generation of ownership.

We are so excited to share this journey with you! Farm & Gardens; Market, Events, & More to Come!

Please bear with us as we make a slight adjustment to our name:
We are now Riversong Farm & Gardens!

We are a working farm, but our gardens are also so special to us and a huge part of our vision for Riversong's future. Mae has been working on these gardens with her mom since she was very little, and has had the last few years since buying the farm to expand, as well, but the gardens are just itching for more to help make this place even more special for upcoming markets, festivals, private events, and other special events. They're a huge part of who we are and where we're going, and the name change has been in the backs of our minds for months. We finally feel comfortable stepping into that.

Thanks to a huge amount of help from our friend Jessica Lynn Pranger, the gardens by the barnyard and roadside paths, especially, have new life and are looking beautiful again. We spent the whole summer fighting severe drought, followed by never-ending rain, flooding, and powdery mildew, and some of the most intense pest pressure we've ever seen, to keep our pumpkin crop alive for you, and those beautiful gardens fell by the wayside in the midst of it. We were so sad the main flower gardens wouldn't be ready for your visit, but Jes spent the last few weeks before our Grand Opening w**ding, fixing borders, adding tons of color, and giving so much of her time and resources, and we wouldn't have gotten there without her. Thank you, Jes! 🧡
Thank you also to Mae's Dad and Grandpa, who helped Aaron hit the trails, paths, fencelines - and even our beloved tree bench! - hard with w**d whips, rakes, chainsaws, and shears to get the gardens and walking areas up here, as well as the property across the road, back into shape. It truly took an army to help us recover from a very difficult growing season and a year-plus of extra long work weeks at our day jobs. We are so grateful for all of your help! And thanks, Aunt Kelly, for getting us into zinnias this spring! 🧡

We're already working on improving the grounds and infrastructure for our next events, and we'd love to hear what you enjoyed most and what you'd be interested in seeing in the future. Thank you all for joining us on this new adventure. We had a blast kicking off the journey with you this past weekend, and we can hardly wait to welcome you back!

We had such an amazing Grand Opening and Fall Market with you all this past weekend, and we're still in awe over how many of you came out to support us and our local artisans. We saw so many people we love from our former "Harvest Time" days, new friends who found us online or saw our signs, and so many friends and supporters of this new adventure as Riversong Farm...and we are just so thankful for all of you! As we regroup and prepare for our next events, we want to give at least one more shoutout to all of our vendors who helped bring something extra special to the weekend. If you haven't already, please follow their pages and connect with them on socials to help them grow and keep up to date with what they have coming up next!
-Pies & Fries kept us fed and happy all weekend, with their amazing pizzas, burgers, and joyful presence, and some special handmade items from their daughter that we saw quite a few of you walking away with. They're right nearby in Hastings, so keep an eye on their page for open hours and special events and fill those cravings for delicious pizza!
-J Crafts, with her handmade jewelry, those paper boxes you loved, and loads and loads of cotton candy! The number of sticky faces we saw, and kiddos (and adults) around our farm with those clouds of sugar brought so many smiles to our faces. Follow her on YouTube!
-Nurmi Co. Sourdough brought the most incredible baked goods and preserves, and you all just about ran her over for that deliciousness! Sourdough apple cinnamon rolls? Yes, please! Good news, she's not very far up the road from us and has her roadside farmstand well stocked!
-Rachel Austin Studios delighted you with her beautiful art and adorable crochet. We saw more than a few littles running around with fluffy handmade critters. Reach out to her for custom orders: paintings, ornaments, crochet, even murals!
-Streamheart by Isaac Austin had so many of you shopping for your favorite hunters and fishermen (or yourself!). Some of the most beautiful handmade knives and fishing gear we've ever seen, and he's open for commissions! Reach out to order a gift for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, or any moment that deserves something extra special.
-Pure maple syrup by Lynn Patrick walked out of here like candy - and so did her candy! That maple fudge is really something, and Lynn can be found at many local markets with all of her natural goodies. Fall and Winter are definitely "maple everything" seasons.
-Rod AndKaren Jantzen brought all of the smiles with their beautiful fresh dahlia bouquets. Seeing masses of bright flowers walking around here in October was such a joy, and they're right up the road from us, too! Keep an eye on their page for more as they finish up their flower season (and maybe prepare for an expansion next year!).
-Cari Richardson joined us on Saturday, and you all loved her beautifully preserved flowers and greens turned into lightweight, durable jewelry. We've never seen anything quite like it! Keep watch for her new business page - coming soon! She has so much more in store for us!
-Sippin’ Pretty Dirty Soda & Coffee Bar kept us filled with fun and bubbles. Their dirty sodas out of that adorable pink trailer were a huge hit, and that warm coffee Saturday morning helped ease us out of a chilly October morning. They've been out and about at special events and have been trying new things, so make sure you keep up with their whereabouts.
-Stoutjesdyk Farms, another "just-up-the-road" vendor, whose homemade natural wellness and farm products flew out of our barn! Their storefront is open for those purchases you forgot, and is loaded with much more than what was available at our market.
-RC's Bees is always a local favorite, and we are so glad they allowed us to offer their beautiful honey out of our barn, even though they were busy with the fall pull and getting the bees ready for their trip south for the winter. You can find them at most local markets and many of our local health and wellness stores - and they're just up the road, too!
What a joy it was to share this special weekend with so many friends and neighbors. Thank you for supporting us and all of these local growers and makers. ❤️

We heard some of you had a hard time finding your way out of the meadow trails to get to the riverside when you were here this weekend. I wanted to call that area the "Meadow Maze", but I was vetoed. 😆 Advice for next time: just follow the nearest orange cat and she'll at least lead you to a great place to nap while you wait for the rescue party.

The chickens are really enjoying their pumpkin snacks the last few days. Any pumpkins that are starting to get soft get shared with the pig and all of the birds, and they're really big fans.

A few mums, cornstalk bundles, and broom corn swags are out at the roadside stand now, too. Come on out and grab whatever you forgot, or if you didn't make it to our Fall Market, we still have a few beautiful pumpkins waiting for you!

You all just about wiped us out of pumpkins this weekend and we're truly thankful for your support.
We moved the remaining pumpkins, gourds, and squash down to the roadside stand so you can still come pumpkin picking as you're able.
Cash and Venmo options at the stand.
The Lemonade, Popcorn, and Grizzly Bear pumpkins were WILDLY popular, so there are only a handful left. Those were so fun for us to grow, so we're glad you love them, too! There are only two true pie pumpkins left, so come grab them before they're gone, and we'll move a few remaining cornstalk bundles out soon, too.

Wow.
We hardly have words to describe what happened this weekend, but our hearts are so full and we are so, so grateful. You all turned a hope and a dream into something far bigger than anything we had anticipated. We had to call in reinforcements just to help us make more parking spaces! And if you know me, you know I LOVE taking photos of just about everything, all of the time, but you kept us so busy that I didn't get a single one! I mean that in the very best way, and we would love to see all of the photos you took during your visit. What a joy it was to look out the barn door and see a yard full of people visiting, shopping, playing, enjoying time with each other, singing - and even dancing! - and then to look out over our property across the road and see that was full of people, too! To say we were blessed is an understatement.
We have more stories to share from this very special event, but for now, we rest.
We were not at all prepared for the response we received from our community, so as you comment or message us your pictures from the weekend, we'll reevaluate to see what's next.
Much love to you all, from Aaron and Mae, and all of our friends and family who helped make this a reality.

AS IF you needed another reason to come out today, Pies & Fries will be serving up BREAKFAST pizza, and Sippin’ Pretty Dirty Soda & Coffee Bar will have hot coffee to warm you up on this cool morning. We'll have food, a barn and yard full of treasures, pumpkins, seven vendors outside and two with their products in the barn, animals to visit, beautiful mown trails to enjoy, and in the evening, live music! You could literally spend all day here with us like many of you did yesterday. We had a blast yesterday, and we're looking forward to doing it again today, 9am - 7pm!

I stole this photo from Hope McConnon, but it's okay, she thinks we're cool. ❤️ You all blew us away yesterday and we've got some empty spaces in the barn and the pumpkin yard, but we're restocking and rearranging to get ready for another big day! Our vendors are so thankful for your support, as well! They spent the rest of their evening restocking and recuperating, too, and they'll be back and ready to greet you at 9am. We are also welcoming a new vendor today! Cari Richardson will have her beautiful natural flower jewelry and other goodies available for you, and we're excited to see what she's got! We'll be open once again from 9am - 7pm, and we are so ready to see you!
