It is time to preserve the harvest! We're opening our field this week for people who are ready to tackle jams, pickling, canning and freezing projects. Everything on our farm is organically-grown so you know you're capturing just the good stuff.
🌶
On Saturday, September 5th from 10a-4p we will be open for pick-your-own of our organically-grown:
👩‍🍳Cherry tomatoes
👨‍🍳Ground cherries
👩‍🍳Cherry peppers (hot)
👨‍🍳Cayenne peppers
👩‍🍳Pepperocini peppers
🍅
All of these items are perfect for preserving and will brighten up the doldrums of winter. Pickles or jam made with love would make wonderful homemade holiday gifts as well!
🌶
Purchase a 15lb box in advance ($29) on our website or at the door ($35) and fill it with whatever combination of those five crops that you like. You can pick 15lbs of just cherry tomatoes, 15lbs of just peppers, or a little of everything. The combination is up to you.
🍅
Head to our website for the details and to reserve your box!

The melon harvest is in and they are looking great! Stocked in the farmstand this week are watermelon, canteloupe, and honeydew. We also have a special small cantaloupe, called charentais. This is a variety of French cantaloupe that is small and very sweet.
🍉🍈🍉
All the makings for an epic organically-grown, local, freshly-picked fruit salad!

The farmstand is open Wed-Sat 10a-6pm at 105 Witches Spring Road in Hollis, NH.

Farms are a great stop for back to school shopping too! It is lunchbox season, after-school decompress snacks season, and team snacks season!
👩‍🏫
Nature's giving you a leg up with lunchbox peppers and cherry tomatoes, these no-prep munchies are nature's Grab & Go, no chopping required! If you're in charge of team snacks, show up with a few cartons of our tomatoes and everyone will be wondering where you got the best tomatoes they've ever tasted!
✏️
We've got your veggie tray classics as well: The hydrating cucumber and sweet red pepper. Crunchy snacks provide proprioceptive input that helps regulate the nervous system - I may be biased but raw veggies grown down the street without chemicals are the best crunchy snack out there!
🏫
that first day back to school by having Begin Family Farm cucumber and pepper sticks quietly chilling on the counter when they get home. They'll get some crunch, some hydration, some fiber, and it will fuel those tired bodies & minds.

🎉🍈🍉Its time for a melon party! 🎉🍈🍉
This week is our main harvest of muskmelons! We've got cantaloupe and honeydew along with a special French variety called charentais. They're small but very sweet. Our sugarbaby and juicebox watermelons are also still going strong.

I never would have thought I could make a fruit salad with organically-grown Hollis melons. It is such a treat!

Shop our organically-grown farmstand at 105 Witches Spring Road, open every Wednesday-Saturday 10a-6p. These won't last, so come on by and taste melon the way your grandmother tasted it.

Its a great day for CSA pickup! Today is the last day for one of our crew as he heads back to school. If you visit the farmstand today, please send him off with a fond farewell!

My favorite time of year is when tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers are all coming out in the harvest. Greek salad is not only possibly the easiest salad to prepare, it is delicious! This picture is from when Farmer Jeff & I visited the Greek island, Paros, about 10 years ago. I still think about this salad sometimes. 😆
🫑🍅🥒
We bought this book of Cretan Cookery while we were in Greece and following its directions will treat you to an authentic Greek Country Salad. The farm-fresh ingredients make the difference here, you can't make this from the grocery store in February. (Treat yourself to the high-quality feta, this only happens once a year!)
🫑🍅🥒
Don't let the looming fall vibes trick you into missing out on this peak harvest dish. The pumpkins are looking great and we'll enjoy them in October!

In cherry tomato season, this roasted eggplant and cherry tomato dish is a go-to staple in my house. My kids affectionately call it, "Not that eggplant thing again!" and "uuuuuugh!" to show their delight at its dominance in the dinner rotation.
🍆🍅🧄🌿
Shop from the farmstand: Eggplant, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and basil. I also tend to throw in whatever other tomatoes we have around - plum tomatoes add to the saucyness, big slicing tomatoes add more liquid.
🍆🍅🧄🌿
Long story short, roasting these ingredients together lends the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes to the eggplant to produce a very tasty result. It is also pretty quick to get into the oven on a busy night.
🍆🍅🧄🌿
This dish is best friends with a good crusty bread and you can edit however you need to make it your own. Use it as a sheetpan meal by adding in your protein of choice. Add mozzarella or serve with a burrata. Cook up some pasta or stir in some gnocchi in the roasting pan. The liquid from the tomatoes makes everything come together!
