What This Service Entails
Roots That Keep, Fruit That Sings
Eight acres of potatoes, carrots, and beets rotate with our grain ground, while the hillside orchard holds apples, pears, plums, and two tunnels of berries. Everything is picked ripe — tubers cured overnight for perfect skins, fruit tree-ripened until it practically falls.
Winter brings our famous storage shares: potatoes, roots, and apples that carry local flavor through the cold months, plus preserves from summer’s surplus.

Our Process
Dig, Cure, Store, Share
Plant clean stock
Certified seed potatoes and disease-free nursery trees start every root and fruit right.
Hill, thin & prune
Potatoes hilled for clean skins; orchards pruned open so sun reaches every apple.
Harvest in passes
Tubers lifted as needed, fruit picked limb by limb at true ripeness — never early.
Cure & keep
Roots cured in the barn, fruit graded into cold storage for months of eating.
“The storage share got us through winter. Potatoes like butter and apples still crisp in March.”

FAQs
Good to Know
Which potato varieties do you grow?
Buttery Yukon types for boiling, russets for baking, and fingerlings for roasting — the lineup rotates yearly.
Can I pick my own fruit?
Yes — pick-your-own weekends run through September in the orchard and berry tunnels. Baskets provided.
Do you spray the orchard?
Only approved organic materials, and only when traps tell us we must. Most pest control is pruning, netting, and beneficial insects.
