Hawthorne Valley is excited to announce a new way

Hawthorne Valley is excited to announce a new way to experience the Fall Festival! In past years the Fall Fest has been a community celebration of the harvest and a wonderful opportunity to visit the farm, partake in fun activities and learning experiences, and support local artisan vendors. Though we are saddened to not be able to host an in-person festival this year, we look forward to creatively bringing you the Fall Fest experience in new ways.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fall Fest 2020 Magazine will debut at the Farm Store, our Green Markets, and local public libraries the week of October 5th. The magazine is free and includes a local directory of past year's vendors, last year's winning apple pie recipe, an article on food access and justice by @rollinggrocer19's Michelle Hughes, a kids' craft from Turose, a coloring activity from our Farmscape Ecology Program, and more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the weekend of October 9th visit our website for virtual content including meeting and milking the herd with Farmer Jess, a class on the lifecycle of butterflies with the Farmscape Ecology Program, and a puppet show with Ms. Ping.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you to Jess Brobst, Hawthorne Valley Livestock Manager, for the beautiful cover art for a magazine. Stay tuned for more details!

Farmers Jake and Jessica planting out lettuce in t

Farmers Jake and Jessica planting out lettuce in the corner garden 🌱 Last year we used the corner garden to grow peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and onions. Our goal this year was to build fertility while reducing weed pressure by utilizing light feeding crops and establishing a few cover crops. The bulk of the garden was in rye and vetch established last fall and worked in this spring. Unused parts were then put into buckwheat, a summer cover crop that helps maintain soil stability. This fall we are excited to be working on a strawberry planting and hope to also put up a few greenhouses!

Wild flowers like this New England Aster are some

Wild flowers like this New England Aster are some of the last wild flowers of the season. Their vivid purple mixes with the more diffuse yellow of our goldenrods, which, it happens, are also in the Aster family.
