🌿 DID YOU KNOW? 🌿

You can dry your own herbs and enjoy that fresh-from-the-garden flavor all winter long!

🌱 Thyme & oregano are especially easy to dry. Just hang small bunches in a warm, dry spot, let them dry completely, then store the leaves in an airtight jar.

And just like our garlic braids, dried herbs are a simple way to preserve a little piece of the garden for the colder months. 🧄🌿

✨ Beautiful in your kitchen, useful all winter, and grown right here at the farm!

Stop by the farm stand and stock up on garlic, herbs, and all the late-summer goodness! ❤️

🌻 Fresh from the farm! 🌻

The farm stand is stocked up today! 🥬🍅🌿

Our fresh-cut flowers are on the stand, and the tomatoes are really starting to come on! 🍅 We’ve also got some of our other fresh-picked goodies available.

🌸 After the much-needed rain this week (and we are so grateful for it!), our flowers are really starting to shine! The fresh blooms are bursting with color and ready to brighten your home or make someone’s day.

Stop by and spread a little beauty with farm-grown flowers from Rauf Family Farm! 💐

While you’re here, be sure to check out all the other fresh goodies on the stand, including homegrown tomatoes, peaches, fresh eggs, fresh herbs, and more.

🌿 A quick note about the cilantro: Our cilantro is starting to flower (also called bolting). This is completely natural! Those flowers will eventually produce coriander seeds. The cilantro leaves are still perfectly edible, though they may have a slightly more bitter flavor than earlier in the season.

📍 Open daily while supplies last.

❤️ Every purchase supports our family farm, our kids, and our dream. Thank you for choosing to shop local—we truly appreciate your support!

🌸 Flowers will be available later this week! 🌸

Sorry for the delay—we’ve been busy at the Greene County Youth Fair! 🎡🐄🐐

Rauf Family Farm sent 7 heifers and 4 goats to the fair, and the kids had an absolute blast! They worked hard and did very well—we are so proud of them! 🐄🏆🐐

Now that fair week is over, we’re getting back to the farm stand! This week we’ll have fresh tomatoes and peaches, along with our usual selection of farm stand goodies. 🍅🍑

Thank you for your patience, and we hope to see you later this week! 🌻

🌽🥒 Fresh from the farm stand this week! 🍆🍄🧅

We’ve got a few new additions this week—fresh eggplant and mushrooms are now on the stand!

You’ll also find:
• Sweet corn
• Cucumbers
• Blueberries
• Peppers

Easy Summer Roasted Veggies

Chop 1 eggplant, 2 summer squash, 8 oz. mushrooms, and 1 onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss with 2–3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, salt, pepper, and a handful of chopped fresh herbs (basil, parsley, or thyme all work well). Roast at 425°F for 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Finish with grated Parmesan or a drizzle of balsamic glaze if you’d like. It’s delicious served with grilled chicken, steak, or tossed with pasta.

Stop by the stand and enjoy the best flavors of summer. Thanks for supporting our farm! 💚

🥬 One of our family’s favorite ways to enjoy fresh cabbage! 💚

This buttery dill cabbage has been a staple at our table for years, and it’s one of those recipes that surprises people… even the kids love it! It’s simple, full of fresh flavor, and makes the perfect side dish for just about any summer meal.

Buttery Dill Cabbage

🥬 1 small head of cabbage, thinly sliced
🧈 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil)
🥒 ¼ cup dill pickle juice
🌿 ½–1 cup fresh dill, chopped
🧂 Salt & pepper to taste

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cabbage and sauté for 5–7 minutes until it begins to soften. Pour in the pickle juice, cover, and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender. Stir in the fresh dill during the last few minutes of cooking and season with salt and pepper.

Fresh cabbage and dill are available at the farm stand this week. If you’re looking for a new way to use your cabbage, give this one a try—we think it’ll become a favorite at your table too! 🌿🥬
