Okay friends: this is it.

We haven't harvested since last week, but there are still veggies on the porch. So here's the deal:

Everything is on super sale for $1 per pound (or $1 per handful for peppers). Come make some sauce and stew and roasted veggies from our porch!

Here's what we have:

Tomatoes
Green tomatoes
Eggplant
Butternut squash
Acorn squash
Dried peppers
Fresh peppers (sweet and hot varieties)

This is it, friends! Thanks for helping us sell out week after week after week. We keep doing this because we love talking to you on our porch. Thank you for coming by and supporting our neighborhood and Wind Chime Farm (and sending my boys to camp). We'll see you next year!

We've just filled our porch with the last harvest of the 2024 season...and it is gorgeous. The tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, kale, and squash create a rainbow of color spilling all over. And we have green tomatoes!

With the cool nights forecasted, we've decided to shut the garden beds down this week, which means we're nearing the end of the road. But we're going out with a bang! Everything is fresh, well stocked...and have I mentioned gorgeous?

Okay friends, come on by! It's been great getting to know you this summer, and we'd love to see you another time or two this week!

(As always, we have a jar for cash and QR code for venmo and zelle. Prices are posted. Let me know if you need our address!)

"You won't believe this harvest!"

That's the text I got from my boys yesterday. Just an hour earlier we had discussed when to shut down the garden...and then went outside. We were shocked! We picked box after box of heirloom tomatoes (yes, still!), gorgeous peppers of all colors, so many acorn and butternut squash and more. We had trouble getting it all out on the porch tables! Their rich colors sitting together look exactly like autumn.

So, time is running out but there is gorgeous produce ready and waiting for you, neighbors. Come and get it!

As always, DM me if you need our address or have any questions.

Neighbors, it is officially October, but I just sliced the most amazingly delicious Brandywine Pink tomato for breakfast and it was spectacular. These days are wrapping up but they're not gone yet!

We've unloaded yet another car full of tomatoes, acorn squash, butternut, and more on to the porch. Come on by and enjoy the tastes of October.

Oh, and we made the news! Check out this article about Wind Chime Farm in the local paper. So fun.

We'll see you soon!
