As intern season wraps up at The Farm, we’re sending a big thank you to the team who helped make this summer such a success! From planting and animal care to lending Chef Paula a hand in the kitchen, our interns jumped in wherever they were needed.

The work on the farm doesn’t slow down when summer ends, and we’ll definitely miss the extra hands that helped make it all a little easier. We’re grateful for their hard work and enthusiasm and wish them a great school year. Thank you for everything you contributed to the farm this season!

Come hungry to Tomato Fest next Saturday as Chef Paula cooks up a tomato-themed menu! In addition to a delicious spread, guests will have the opportunity to taste the multiple heirloom varieties grown on the farm and purchase their favorites from our booth.

Food and drink tickets will be available for purchase at the front of the fest.

We’ve got a fresh-picked celebration planned, full of fun activities, great music, and of course, lots of tomatoes. We’ll see you there!

We are all set to have another great day at the Glenview Farmer’s Market on Saturday! This season has been so special, thanks, in part, to our sponsors, J. Blanton Plumbing and Floor Coverings International. The market wouldn’t be possible without the support of our community. If you see their booths at the market, make sure to say hello!

We held an appreciation event last week for all of our CSA members. Members enjoyed a delicious spread, whipped up by Chef Paula, and were able to pick their own vase of flowers from the U-Pick flower field.

Thank you to all of our CSA members! We are so grateful that we could share such a beautiful night with you!

Our final Evening on the Farm is this Friday, August 21, from 5-8 p.m. Come picnic with us after hours! We will have plenty of food available for purchase, great music, and beautiful flowers to pick in our U-Cut flower field.

Flower buckets can be purchased for $35 inside our store, then you can head out to the flower field to cut your own farm fresh bouquets. Cutters will be provided, and staff will be available to wrap up your bouquet!

Is a tomato a fruit, a vegetable, or both? Botanically, tomatoes are classified as fruits because their seeds are inside; however, they are also vegetables! How can this be? Well, the word vegetable is not a botanical or scientific definition, but a culinary classification designating different kinds of savory produce all into one group.

Want to learn more fun facts about tomatoes? Come to Tomato Fest to taste all our tomato varieties, create your own custom flower bouquet in our U-Cut flower field, participate in a spaghetti eating contest, hear some great tunes from Mr. G and the Mystery Band, and celebrate all things tomato!

It’s tomato season, we have plenty of freshly picked heirloom tomatoes for sale and Chef Paula is whipping up some delicious tomato-based goodies for the store! Our newest addition is a tomato spice cake. This might seem like an unusual combination, but the tangy sweetness of the Farm’s heirloom tomatoes melds with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to create a moist and flavorful cake perfect for late summer.

Stop by the store today, or anytime this weekend to pick up your own!

We welcomed our highest turnout ever at the Farmer’s Market this weekend and what a great day it was, with great weather, beautiful produce, U-Cut flowers and music provided by our very own Sebastian Zimmer. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the market and our vendors. We appreciate you!

The Glenview Farmers Market is open every Saturday through October 24, from 8 a.m.- Noon. Stop by this weekend to enjoy everything the market has to offer! Weather permitting, the U-Cut flower field will be open for guests to pick their own farm fresh bouquets.
